Finally tracked down a comic that I've been looking for in stores for a while now. It is one of the Michael Turner drawn covers to the Dynamite Battlestar Galactica series. I'm not reading the comics at all, although I was BIG into the recent show. I just collect Turner's art and had been longing to come across this.
There are other versions of it too that I'd like to get, but I haven't seen these anywhere yet.
And there is also a Zero comic cover he did as well.

I am pretty sure he was just the cover artist for these. His run on Superman/Batman was really good as was the relaunch of Supergirl that spawned out of a storyline in Superman/Batman. I have collected a TON of his comics based off him doing the cover art.

Yeah, I think towards the end when his health was in decline he was mainly a cover artist. I know he did so many drawings of Fathom and Soulfire artwork that they're still using it as variant cover art today.

what?!?! when i read that, i was confused. i have been away from the scene for probably 7 or 8 years so i had no idea he had passed away! i just read his wiki page. to lose someone so young, that truly sucks.. and i am 2 weeks older than him too.

It is sad. I never knew the guy, but from everything I ever heard, he was a real stand up person. Seems like everyone loved working with him and he was very passionate about his art and creations.

Met him twice at Wizard World Chicago a many years ago, always great to talk to and enjoyed the convention circuit. Got him to sign a few Witchblade and Fathom comics for me.
