8 years of Bone Cancer... But he did some great things in that time. I can't say I really dug his style but you have to respect what he did.

This was all over the comic boards last week. I never cared for his take on anatomy, but it's always sad for someone to die so young.

Ya saw this last week to. He was a really cool guy. Would do sketches for fans all day long at comic-con. Very cool artist will be sadly missed.

Sad news indeed, I was a fan of his work back in the Top Cow Comic days and I'm grateful for the signed sketch of Fathom he did for me many years ago. RIP Mike!

I've been checking out his work all day. Fantastic collection. He did great things with the time he was given, and I applaud that.

I was sad when I heard this last week. I really liked his work in Witchblade and Fathom.

Yeah i had no idea until i was getting my comics on Friday, very sad news indeed. He was my wife's fav artist. Thats alot of talent lost in one month...

Reich · Jul 2008

Yea i'm slow but i just found out today while i was at the comic book store picking up the new Fathom bounded volume. Sad times. His work was a big influence on a lot of my art/ anatomy while i was learning how to draw. My bookshelves are mostly stocked with his work. Sad news for me after getting back from a nice week and a half vacation =(

Heres to to you Mike.

As much as I was a huge fan as a kid, that sentence cracks me up

Yeah, my biggest influence was studying Rob Liefeld's anatomy.

RIP Michael Turner
