One of my favorite things about Michael Turner is that he said in interviews he could not draw feet to save his life, and I always found it fun to see how he would avoid drawing feet in his art. The man had some really dynamic and striking artwork, and no one made The Flash look cooler in my opinion. It is always sad when the comic community looses a great, and that is definitely what this is.

I agree, I wasn’t always a fan of his art, but when he nailed it, he nailed it. Also, I think it’s safe to say no one drew Comic Book Babes the way Michael Turner did. There’s no argument that he was a major contributer to Comics as we know them, and it’s always sad to see someone so young pass away.
