that is sad news - I was a fan of his work in the late 90's esp whitchblade which i haven't actually picked up since he stopped penciling it. I'd had issues with his work - like the legs that went on forever, the waists that were as wide as my little finger, and the same 4 or 5 faces used over and over but I still liked it. I think he was a better illustrator then cartoonist and I'll remember him most for his cover work rather then sequential art.

I thought the first issue of fathom with the different views of the characters was nice and it could have been a really interesting title had it not been for the delays due to his illness. 37 years of age, real shame.

Wow, that's shocking I wasn't particularly a fan of his work as I don't really know it, but I have a t-shirt with one of his Wolverine: Origins covers on it. It's really sad to hear he died so young.

that`s sad to hear.
He did some brilliant covers.

First George Carlin now Mr. Turner. I have to say that I loved his cover art and he will be missed. I hope that anyone who prays will spare a thought for Mr. Turners family and loved ones.

Rest in Peace.

A day later and I'm still stunned This guy was my idol during my comics hey-day. The sheer wealth of detail in some his panels was just phenomenal. Even though he was relegated to merely covers the past few years, I'm really going to miss seeing his work out there on the shelf.

As with everyone else I am shocked by this. I thought he had won his battle with cancer. As with everyone else I will remember him for his covers.

He did an absolutely brilliant run on Superman/Batman, his artwork reintroduced Supergirl, and it was great!! That sucks, he was a real talent!

Mr. K

I instantly think of the Supergirl arc when I think of Michael Turner. Really great work, this is sad news. He'll join Mike Wieringo in the list of modern artists who'll be missed.

News has turned me white.

As a semi-pro artist, Im a huge Michael Turner fan. Him and Jim Lee are my major influences.

This is very very very sad news. I was unaware he had cancer, I dont read wizard as much as I used to.
