\"\"<\/a>[FRENCH] La nouvelle vient de tomber<\/a>: Michael Turner, le cr\u00e9ateur de Fathom et la firme Aspen Comics est mort il y a quelques heures, des suites de sa longue bataille contre le cancer. Il avait 37 ans. Les pros des comics comme les fans \u00e9taient tr\u00e8s au courant de ses diff\u00e9rentes rechutes, qui avaient maintes fois eut des retomb\u00e9es sur sa carri\u00e8re. Michael Turner avait ses fans puis il avait aussi les autres, ceux qui \u00e9taient moins fans. Mais pour tous Turner,\u00a0\u00ab\u00a0dans la vraie vie, \u00e9tait\u00a0l’exemple d’un homme qui\u00a0avait confiance en la vie, qui luttait avec optimisme<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0, nous explique Thierry Mornet, charg\u00e9 chez Delcourt de l’\u00e9dition en France des comics d’Aspen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Turner est n\u00e9 le 21 avril 1971 et a perc\u00e9\u00a0 sur la sc\u00e8ne comics dans le milieu des ann\u00e9es 90, chez Top Cow en particulier en devenant le dessinateur et co-cr\u00e9ateur de l’h\u00e9ro\u00efne Witchblade. En 1998, Turner lance, toujours chez Top Cow, une cr\u00e9ation plus personnelle, Fathom. Ces deux personnages tailleront \u00e0 l’artiste une r\u00e9putation de \u00ab\u00a0good girl artist\u00a0\u00bb. Fan de sports aquatiques (mais aussi d’arts martiaux), Turner avait mis beaucoup de son univers et de ses centres d’int\u00e9r\u00eat dans Fathom. Lors d’un accident, en 2000, ses m\u00e9decins d\u00e9couvrent qu’il a le cancer. S’en suivent de nombreuses op\u00e9rations, des p\u00e9riodes de traitements lourds mais aussi des rechutes \u00e0 r\u00e9p\u00e9tition.<\/strong><\/p>\n

En 2002, Turner quitte Top Cow pour fonder sa propre soci\u00e9t\u00e9, Aspen. Une dispute \u00e9clate alors entre Top Cow et Turner, ce dernier importe en effet dans Aspen des concepts (Soulfire, Ekos…), qu’il avait d’abord \u00e9bauch\u00e9 du temps o\u00f9 il \u00e9tait salari\u00e9 de Top Cow. La possibilit\u00e9 d’un proc\u00e8s est alors \u00e9voqu\u00e9 et les choses s’engagent plut\u00f4t mal pour Aspen. Ce seront les pairs de Turner, les autres professionnels des comics, qui lui mettront le pied \u00e0 l’\u00e9trier. Avec le parainnage de Jeph Loeb, Turner peut ainsi travailler pour DC en tant que prestataire (c’est lui, par exemple, qui illustre l’arc de Superman\/Batman ramenant Supergirl dans l’univers DC). Cette bouff\u00e9e d’air permet \u00e0 Aspen de passer l’\u00e9preuve. Finalement les diff\u00e9rents avec Top Cow peuvent alors s’arranger.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael Turner, c’est un peu l’ami de toutes les maisons d’\u00e9dition. Marvel, suivant l’exemple de DC, signe alors avec lui un contrat en vue de lui faire dessiner un Ultimate Wolverine qu’il n’aura jamais l’occasion d’illustrer, ses probl\u00e8mes de sant\u00e9 devenant ominpr\u00e9sents. L’artiste est mort dans la nuit, alors qu’il \u00e9tait hospitalis\u00e9. Joint par nos soins, Thierry Mornet \u00e9tait bien s\u00fbr att\u00e9r\u00e9 par la nouvelle ce samedi matin: \u00ab\u00a0Je le connaissais bien depuis des ann\u00e9es, ayant g\u00e9r\u00e9 la traduction de ses s\u00e9ries d\u00e8s Semic et aujourd’hui chez Delcourt. Je pensais d’ailleurs le voir d’ici trois semaines, en marge des conventions am\u00e9ricaines. on a beau avoir \u00e9t\u00e9 au courant de ses soucis de sant\u00e9, ca n’en reste pas moins que c’est terrible et que le reste est d\u00e9risoire. C’est une sale nouvelle qui vient s’ajouter aux disparitions de ces derniers temps<\/em>\u00ab\u00a0. Ce n’est pas un myst\u00e8re que l’\u00e9quipe de Comic Box connaissait Turner (qui avait plusieurs fois illustr\u00e9 des couvertures pour nous) et ses collaborateurs les plus proches. Comic Box #54 reviendra plus en d\u00e9tail sur cette triste nouvelle…<\/strong><\/p>\n
