Another terrible loss this weekend as Michael Turner died Friday night at 10:42 Pacific Time at Santa Monica Hospital in California. Comic Book Resources has reported that the 37 year old Aspen Comics artist unfortunately lost his long battle with cancer. His passing has cast a somber cloud over Wizard World Chicago and I’m sure there will be many stories and heartfelt words about Michael from all his colleagues and peers today. Those wishing to send condolences to Michael’s family may do so at:

Aspen MLT, Inc.

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.

Another sad loss this year. Rest in peace, Michael.
