The comic world lost an amazing artist and friend on Monday with the passing of Minck Oosterveer, who tragically died in a motorcycle accident. Oosterveer was the artist on two books from BOOM! Studios: The Unknown and The Unknown: Devil Made Flesh (both series written by former BOOM! Editor-in-Chief Mark Waid). To honor the life and work of Oosterveer, BOOM is offering both series as free downloads though all of their digital partners.

The comic book world has been rocked, as one of its better known artists has passed. Dutch outlets (via Bleeding Cool) are reporting that artist Minck Oosterveer died on Saturday from a motorcycle accident. He was 50 years old.

Best known for his work on books like Marvel’s Ruse and Boom Studio’s Zombie Tales and The Unknown, Oosterveer was an important name not only in the comic book world, but particularly in the Dutch comic industry, where he produced strips like Zodiac and Nicky Saxx.
