Remembering Michael Turner

I remember the first time I came across a piece of art drawn by Michael Turner. At the time, I hadn't bought a comic book since high school. I kept up with certain story lines by reading stuff about the characters online, but beyond that, I had pretty much disconnected myself from that universe. That is, until I saw Turner's version of the Flash. It rejuvenated my interest in the genre. I thought, holy crap, you CAN make comic characters look cool again! From that point on, I bought up everything I could that he had done, including the Superman/Batman series that brought back Supergirl. He died this past weekend of cancer at the age of 37.

The art world has truly lost a wonderful creator.
