Died at 37 from cancer. I knew he had cancer but i thought it had gone into remission. from the looks of it, it must have been an ongoing fight. [URL="Comic book illustrator Michael Turner has died of cancer. Turner passed away Friday night at Santa Monica Hospital in California. He was 37."
Turner is best known for his work on comics like ‘Witchblade,’ ‘Black Panther,’ ‘Superman,’ and ‘Batman.’ He created his own series of comics, ‘Fathom’ and ‘Soulfire.’
Turner was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma cancer in the right pelvis. The cancer resulted in Turner loosing his hip, 40% of his pelvis and three pounds of bone. The cancer had gone into remission and returned multiple times since his diagnosis. I know alot of you out there know his work with comics and statues he will be missed.We are losing the Masters in there trade 1st Stan, 2nd Carl, and now Michael just to mention a couple This has been a Bad month

I knew his stuff but never followed it too closely. Dying of cancer at 37 though... so tragic. Way too young.

This has been a year of death, and it's only half done. I hate hearing about another amazing and talented person each week. :monkey2
