Declaring the death of Karl Mostert, a beloved family member and incredibly gifted artist, the Comic Lore community is greatly depressed. His unexpected death creates a permanent vacuum not readily filled. Karl was far more than just a brilliant lifeliter artist bringing figures to life. To his three girls, he was a loving father and a devoted husband to Angie. His enthusiasm for his work was matched only by the affection he had with those closest to him; his loyalty to his family was unflinching.
Karl’s exuberant energy and strong laughter that could brighten any space defined his presence. Friends and colleagues characterise him not just as a great writer but also as a real friend and an indispensible brother in every respect. He was a pillar of the Comic Lore family because of his larger-than-life demeanour and friendliness; he was praised not only for his work but also for his kind and open attitude.
The Comic Lore community offers Karl’s family its most heartfelt sympathies during this period of bereavement. Respect for their grief drives them to respectfully ask that the family’s privacy be honoured. Every everyone who knew and loved him feels a great weight since the world has lost a really amazing soul.

“To our community, family and friends,
It is with a grief-filled and heavy heart that I have to let you know that our beloved brother Karl Mostert has passed away. Words cannot even begin to describe the massive space that this amazing human being has left in our hearts. Karl was far more than just an incredible artist who loved his craft, he was a devoted husband to his wife Angie and the greatest dad to his three beautiful girls. He was a force of nature with a belly laugh that ignited the room. He was not just a man we had the privilege to work with, but he was our brother and our friend. We send our deepest condolences to his family during this time, and we ask that as his family processes and mourns his loss that their privacy be respected. We would also like to send our condolences to Karls fans. Karl loved every single one of you, it was a privilege and honor for him to bring your characters to life.
We thank you Karl for all that you have done my brother.
Rest in your Saviour Jesus my friend.
We love you!”
