    Default Michael Turner passes away

    Michael Turner passes away. He was only 37.
    This guy was one of my favourite artists. I count myself very lucky to have met him and gotten some stuff signed by him.
    Truly sad news.

    Great artist, but unfortunately, I found most of his creator owned and Topcow stuff always late and as a result, I gave up reading alot of his titles (and this was before he got cancer). But still sad to hear considering his talent.

    I thought he was best in his early career. He never was a favourite of mine but I had respect for him and am very sorry he passed away. He was a genuinely nice bloke by all accounts.

    I always appreciated his artwork on any super-femmes.

    Disappointing that he has passed so young from the earthly plane but I'm sure he's drawing awesome stuff in Heaven.
