1997 OBITUARY:
Sverre Helmer Kristensen, comic book artist and editor/publisher of Sewer Cunt, died November 6th, 1997, after two-and-a-half years of struggle with blood cancer. After the first round of heavy treatment, in the summer of 1996, he was apparently well. He travelled to London, and created a design for a T-shirt that said <>. But he suffered a serious setback, had to undergo another round of treatment, and by 1997, he was told he couldn't be cured. He had to go to the hospital in Aarhus every four days to get a painful injection directly into the spine, and it was on one of these visits that he collapsed and died.

His comix career mostly consisted of uncompromising self-published work, but he also had comix published in the Canadian anthologies Kêkrapules and Compendium Comix, along with artists like Julie Douchet, Joe Matt and Mike Diana. In the late eighties he did quite a lot of color covers, comix and posters for the Norwegian edition of Mad. His last work was the partly autobiographical comic book Bad Pills, released by the US publisher Mike Hunt.
