I just found out that Michael Turner, reputable comic artist, just died after an 8 yr battle with cancer. This just came out of no where. I've seen him at conventions a lot, and I remember seeing him on crutches. I never actually got a sketch or an autograph from him, but he was always great with his fans. Especially with the complications he had he still went out to cons and shit. It's a weird feeling, someone that you've never met but seen many times pass out of nowhere. Yeah, pretty sad shit man.
