Spider-Man artist dies.
 

A fantastic artist was lost this past weekend. I loved his work and having never met him, I understand he was a nice guy. Quite a loss for the artistic world. I'm sure all of you would appreciate his talent. :(

The 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.

Wow... so young, too.

Perhaps "Details are still sketchy as of this time..." was an unintended unfortunate turn of a phrase. :(
