Da Cap'n Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 MIKE WIERINGO PASSES AWAYThe comics industry lost a luminary this weekend – Mike Wieringo passed away Sunday of a sudden heart attack. Details are still sketchy as of this time, but according to close sources, the acclaimed artist had chest pains at some point during the day and called 911, but the responders did not make it in time. Wieringo was 44 years old. He was a vegetarian, and “one of the healthiest ones of us in the bunch,” as his longtime friend and collaborator Todd Dezago described him. This guy was one of my favorite artists and was big on his Tellos title for Image back in the day! He will be missed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 I was pretty shocked when I read this. 'ringo was great. Even if I didn't like the books he was on I always appreciated the art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Jax Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 ASC has no heart. Seriously, I'd like to be able to see my memorial thread from the beyond when I pass away. ASC's only comment will be "That guy was a prick." He'll be right, but jeesh, too soon, man. Too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Cap'n Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm shocked that I haven't really heard anything about this since the week it happened! Usually when a writer/artist dies the companies usually dedicates a page in all their books for one week to the guy! I haven't seen that in this case!

Ganny McVagflaps Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 No offense, but I've had eight or nine showers today and I still can't get the stank of yo momma's vicious poon juice offa my hang-lows. The lack of tribute is weird alright. Jesus, even Jeph Loeb's son got a whole issue of Batman/Superman. I'm sure Marvel'll pull something out.
