MICHAEL TURNER PASSES AWAY AT 37

mzflux — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 05:03:19 GMT

Posted: Sat, June 28th, 2008

We here at Comic Book Resources are very sad to report that artist Michael Turner has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 37. Aspen Comics’ Vince Hernandez told CBR News Saturday morning that Turner passed away Friday night at 10:42 Pacific Time at Santa Monica Hospital in Calfiornia. The news spread quickly at Wizard World Chicago, during what would have otherwise been a riotous night at the hotel bar, the mood suddenly turned somber with remembrances of Turner from friends and acquaintances. A minute of silence will be observed during Wizard World Chicago Saturday afternoon.

Turner is an artist best known for his work on books like “Witchblade,” where he got his start in comics, moving on to titles such as “Black Panther,” “Superman/Batman” and his very own creator owned series “Fathom” and “Soulfire” through his publishing company Aspen Comics. A prolific artist, he’s done work for both DC Comics and Marvel Comics, and has provided covers to some of the best-known comics published in the last ten years, including Brad Meltzer’s “Identity Crisis.”

In 2000, Turner was diagnosed with cancer -- chondrosarcoma in the right pelvis, which resulted in his loosing his hip, 40% of his pelvis and three pounds of bone. What followed was 9 months of radiation. The cancer has gone into remission and returned multiple times since he was first diagnosed.

For anyone who’s met Turner, they’re likely to tell you what a genuinely nice guy he was and how his spirit for life was higher than anyone else they had ever met. Oddly, my path crossed with Turner’s numerous times. We both live in Los Angeles, and on at least five different occasions we would run into each other at clubs or special events around the city. He seemed like the kind of guy who was up for anything and had a great sense of adventure, especially as evidenced by his love and excellence at water-skiing and martial arts.

Last year during Comic-Con International in San Diego, I invited Michael Turner out to the CBR Yacht for an interview. He was happy to come out to the boat. His colleague and friend, Vince Hernandez, called me the Saturday afternoon the interview was scheduled to say they were running late, but were on their way. I went to the end of the dock to greet them and there, off in the distance, was Michael, Vince and a friend of theirs walking slowly towards our slip. They were walking slowly because Michael was on crutches, recovering from the latest round of surgeries and treatment. It was a hot day, but there was Michael, making his way to the boat with a smile on his face. His strength of will was truly inspirational.

The resulting interview was a wonderfully sweet one. I remember talking with him about his comics, his covers, his health and much more. After the interview he and his crew hung out on the boat for a while, enjoying the calm moment away from the convention with a soda and good conversation.

Sadly, that video interview never made it on to the site (not for anything to do with Michael or the content of the interview), but we’ll make sure that video is encoded this week and published in his memory and so that all of you can see what sort of man Turner was.

Turner’s fight with cancer was truly inspirational. He fought it with dignity and grace.

More details concerning Turner’s passing are forthcoming. Those wishing to send their condolences to Michael Turner's family are encouraged to send them to:

Aspen MLT, Inc.
C/O Michael Turner
5855 Green Valley Circle, Suite 111
Culver City, CA, 90230

Aspen Comics also encourages anyone wishing to make a charitable donation in Turner’s name can do so to his requested charities, The American Cancer Society or The Make-A-Wish Foundation

CBR extends it’s heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Michael Turner. He’ll be sorely missed.

X-Men and Superman essay anthologies

"Hey guys-- I just wanted to recommend two titles the small press I work for has published that are now available. They're titled ""The Unauthorized X-Men"" and ""The Man From Krypton"", and both are collections of scholarly (and humorous!) essays on the X-Men and Superman respectively. You can read full-essay pdf previews here:

Thanks for letting me intrude and hope you enjoy!

Xavier’s Dream is looking for players who follow and enjoy x-universe comics to roleplay the lives of our favorite outcast superheroes. This game focuses on the X-men (as opposed to academy students, the brotherhood, or any other teams), as they fight to protect the world from evil mutants, and fellow mutants from the world, run an academy for gifted youngsters, and find a sense of normalcy as they live out Xavier's Dream.

Okay you said X-men, but which ones? The universe we’re focusing on is comics, specifically 616 universe. The game began immediately following the events of Uncanny X-men 293, and is a strongly canon based AU from that point.
Who can apply? Players 18 and over who read comics, and are willing to read x-men comics for plot and characterization research.
What characters are you looking for? Beast, Chamber, Dazzler, Jubilee, Multiple Man, Risque, Rogue, Siryn, Synch, Warpath, Wolfsbane
What characters should I not apply for? OCs, Telepaths, Villains. Check here for full restricted characters list.
How can I contact the mods for an app or more questions? Check out Xavier’s Dream and/or email us at xaviers_dream@hotmail.com

so stop me if you disagree... but "friendly neighborhood spider-man" is some of the WORST spider man writing in years. WTF are they thinking... the stories are totally irrelevant. and they cross lines that should be untouched.

there are VERY few people in the marvel universe that get the DIGNITY to stay dead. Gwen Stacy. up until recently, bucky. Kraven the hunter. and BEN F*(&ING PARKER. (more than I’m sure I cant think of right now...) ben parker is the reason spider man is spider man... the fact that strazinsky completely SHIT ALL OVER Gwen Stacy...

ARGHHHH...

and to top it all off... its the green goblin from 2211?!?! are they really that desperate? I would rather have fewer GOOD spider man books than crappy bad ones. hell the new kids they get to write stories for the spider-man unlimited write better stories than the marvel staff writer they have on this book...
