Michael Turner, most noticeable for his absolutely beautiful comic book covers passed away from cancer last week...I know he's not some astronomically huge comic book creator or anything, but he was the first person to really get me into comics with his artwork, and personally when I sketch I use his artistic style. I heard about his death this morning and was really upset about it. Sad, considering comic con is coming up in a couple of weeks, and Aspen is the ONLY comic booth I ever make a point to visit. :'(

That sucks. I thought he had it beat, but I suppose that never the case really. He's done a lot of really nice stuff

[Artemas]

Wow, that is really too bad.
I loved his artwork.

Goddamn, I learned how to draw hair from him. Fathom was ass balls but I read Witchblade 1-25 simply for his artwork.

[Zigma]

[Demosthenes]

I don't like is art, in fact it's safe to say I hate it, but Death is always a loss. Shame.

That sucks he was always a fantastic artist. I read an interview from him saying he was going to beat it etc about a year ago. And for the record this new forum sucks balls ; ;
