Michael Turner apparently passed away last night. He was a hell of a comic book artist who was also too damn young. [Story here.](http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=16988)

If this has already been reported then I apoligize, I only just found out.

Aw, man! ☹

His [Supergirl](http://www.newmooncomics.com/ListItem.aspx?ItemID=325455&CategoryID=5339) shirts are my favorite attire. He will truly be missed.

I can’t say it’s a shock, because I knew he’d been fighting cancer a long time, but it is sad.
