Just wanted to drop a post about the passing of Comic Book artist Michael Turner. He had been fighting cancer for the last 7 years, and succumbed Friday Night at the way too young age of 37. He is actually one month younger than I am, which makes this so much harder to fathom.
His was a talent that was peerless. He will be remembered as one of the best comic book artists of our age....and any other for that matter. His start was with Top Cow comics, where he created a myriad of popular characters. Where he came to my attention, is when he started doing covers for the big 2, DC and Marvel.
Take a look at a few of his amazing covers. The first one is for X-men 500 which hasn't been published yet. He worked almost until his passing. I for one will miss his work tremendously.
