I'm a huge comic fan and it's always sad to see one of the good ones go.
I really enjoyed his alternate covers for the Civil War mini-series and, of course, Fathom was straight hawt.

Another innovator that had a style most imitated and actually most would criticize but definetly all would admire died from cancer yesterday. Shooting up in the ranks rather fast with Marc Silverstri on the detective/fantasy comic book Witchblade. Then followed up wth one of the most detailed art filled pages in comics history, Fathom. Fathom was a comic anybody could pick up and admire, for Mike's level of detail, awe inspiring beautiful women and sci-fi fantasy.

Here's a section i took from from Newsarama:
Turner is an artist best known for his work on books like “Witchblade,” where he got his start in comics, moving on to titles such as “Black Panther,” “Superman/Batman” and his very own creator owned series “Fathom” and “Soulfire” through his publishing company Aspen Comics. A prolific artist, he’s done work for both DC Comics and Marvel Comics, and has provided covers to some of the best-known comics published in the last ten years, including Brad Meltzer’s “Identity Crisis.”

Another from CBR:
Artist Michael Turner has died after a long battle with cancer. He was 37. Aspen Comics’ Vince Hernandez told CBR News Saturday morning that Turner passed away Friday night at 10:42 Pacific Time at Santa Monica Hospital in Calfiornia. The news spread quickly at Wizard World Chicago, during what would have otherwise been a riotous night at the hotel bar, the mood suddenly turned somber with remembrances of Turner from friends and acquaintances. A minute of silence will be observed during Wizard World Chicago Saturday afternoon.
