Mike Wieringo: 1963-2007
Via Warren Ellis and Newsarama: Mike Wieringo, the artist well known for drawing Flash, Robin, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Sensational Spider-Man, Adventures of Superman, Fantastic Four, and the co-creator of Tellos and Impulse, suffered a fatal heart attack on Sunday.
Everybody in the comics industry is shocked and saddened at his sudden passing, including collaborators Peter David and Todd Dezago.
We’ll post more details about services and the like as we get them.
UPDATE 8:57 PM EDT: More kind words from Mark Waid and Karl Kesel.
I'm gonna put together a collage of all the con sketches I can collect by Mike Wieringo and either lay it on his artist's alley table at Baltimore, or at least give it to the chairman to pass on to his family.Please post copies of sketches he did for you at past cons here, or provide links to higher-res versions via PM.I'm no artist, so they'll all just be assembled on big-ass pieces of Oaktag, but if anyone wants to help somehow, let me know.I'll list everyone's name on the back, unless you don't want it listed for some reason.Feel free to spread the news about the project on your favorite boards as well.Info on project and banner for linking and news spreadage at http://www.internationalnorbertconspiracy.com/rin…
