RIP Herb Trimpe

Post by lbh »

Word comes that artist Herb Trimpe has passed away. He is best known for his work for Marvel doing books like "The Incredible Hulk" where was the first artist to draw Wolverine, "Shogun Warriors" and Godzilla's first American series. He will be missed :( http://comicbook.com/2015/04/14/herb-tr ... ssed-away/

Posted about this in the dead celebrity thread. Very, very sad. There were some great moments in Godzilla history drawn under his hand.

May he rest in peace.

The Marvel comics are in a lot of ways better than what Dark Horse produced and what IDW is currently giving us (in terms of ongoings at least). A ton of variety with well written (sometimes delightfully eccentric) characters, arcs that open and close satisfyingly, etc. I've got the Essentials Collection and wish a hardcover edition in color would come out someday, like those nice Gorgo and Konga collections from IDW.
