This past weekend, the comic book world lost yet another great artist in Mike Weiringo. Known for his work on Fantastic Four, Flash (Mike was co-creator of "Impulse") and numerous other comics, Mike died suddenly of a heart attack over this past weekend at the age of 44.
I didn't follow Mike's career too closely, but I am aware of his talents, having seen them not only online but in numerous comics over the years. As an artist, I always appreciated his clean, crisp lines and how he could take the most gritty piece and add a flavour of colour even before the inks dried.
According to his personal blog site (http://www.MikeWieringo.com), Mike was a huge supporter of the ASPCA and Hero Initiative. Anyone wishing to contribute to these causes in his name would be much appreciated.
