RIP Michael Turner

Sad news. One of my favorite comic book artists passed away this weekend. Michael Turner died of cancer at the age of 37. Tragic to think how many more fantastic covers/books he might have gone on to create.

I think he was best know for co-creating Witchblade and creating Fathom, but he also did so much work for both DC and Marvel that people that don't recognize his name would still probably be familiar with some of his work. In 2003 he founded his own company, Aspen Comics.

Comic Book Resources is reporting that anyone wishing to send their condolences to Michael Turner's family is encouraged to send them to:

Aspen MLT, Inc.
C/O Michael Turner
5855 Green Valley Circle, Suite 111
Culver City, CA, 90230

and anyone wishing to make a donation in Turner's name to his preferred charities can do so to either The American Cancer Society or the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
