A legend, and an inspiration



Witchblade has been one of my favorite comics since i was little. the art soared off the page, and spoke to me. the artist behind the masterpiece was Michael Turner. Michael Turner has worked with Marvel and DC, as well as with the indie comic company Top Cow. he started Aspen Comics. Michael Turner lost his battle with cancer last week. He will be remembered as one of the most up and coming artists in the comic industry. He will be remembered as one of the true creative minds, and i am sad that we couldn't see everything he had to offer. i find it slightly gratifying that the same week that we lost a truely influential artist, his origninal creation was announced that it would be making it's way on to the silver screen. In 2009, Witchblade will become a full fledged silver screen adaptation.

rest in peace Michael.
