To those of you who may not know who Michael Turner is, Turner was one of the greatest artist that the comic book industry had to offer, and on June 27th, 2008 he passed away from a long battle with cancer. Here is information on him and his death from the 4 Color Fantasy website:

"On June 27, superstar artist Michael Turner, creator of Fathom and Soulfire and founder of Aspen MLT, died in Santa Monica, CA at the age of 37.

In addition to his creator-owned titles, Turner's distinctive art graced numerous covers published by some of the comic industry's leading companies.

His super-star status in the comic industry was first secured following his work for Image Comics/Top Cow Productions, including the co-creation of Top Cow's flagship title Witchblade.

In the last several years, Turner provided DC Comics with distinctive artwork that set titles like Action Comics, Superman, Justice League of America, Superman Batman and the groundbreaking Identity Crisis apart. For Marvel Comics, Turner made an impact with his covers for Wolverine: Origins, the era-changing Civil War, Ultimate X-Men and most recently the landmark Uncanny X-Men #500.
Diagnosed with cancer in 2000, he had been suffering from health complications in recent weeks.

Our condolences to the Turner family.

For myself, I do not know who he is. I have seen some of his work and he was very talented.
That is sad news.
I will have to tell my husband. He is the comic lover in the family.

I met him back at Wizard World, and he was a really awesome guy. He loved his work and loved what he did. He had really beautiful artwork.

You bet it buddy. It is really a sad neews from the comic industry that the artist Michael Turner died from complications arising from his ongoing fight against cancer. Turner, who had worked for DC and Marvel comics providing cover for books like Superman, Batman, Civil Was and Uncanny X-me as well as creating his own line of comics under his Apen MLT label.

For Mike Turner,

We knew you're being missed. And we also know you're in a better place now. You're always come out on Top.

A Big fan.

Wow....I am sorry to hear of his passing, I have been out of the comic scene for many years but I really admired his work when i was collecting and agree with other posters here that he was indeed very talented.

Thank you for your post. Yes, I was to hear that he passed away because he looked just fine the last time I saw, but you never know what can lie beneathe a person and you know the old saying, "Looks can be deceiving". Anyway, Mike Turner was just an awesome artist. Whenever a comic book or graphic novel was drawn by him, I knew I was going to buy it because it always looked so beautiful.
