“In 1994, Michael Turner began working for Top Cow Productions, co-creating the comic series Witchblade, a popular indie comic book,” Clover Press further said of the book. “Turner later debuted his creator-owned series, Fathom, in 1998. It became the best-selling comic book of that year. In 2002, Michael left Top Cow Productions to start Aspen MLT LLC., and create the hit indie title Soulfire, in addition to continuing Fathom. Turner would go on to become one of the most recognizable cover artists for Marvel Comics. Michael Turner died in 2008, at the age of 37, from complications from treatment for bone cancer.”
“Michael Turner is that rare human being whose spectacular artwork came from his magical heart and wonderful soul,” writer Jeph Loeb said in a press release. “Like his characters, he brought beauty into this world, and we are lucky to share it in this astonishing collection.”
Artist Joe Quesada added, “In collecting this book, you’re collecting the work of a great artist – just a great guy – who managed to achieve legendary status in a very short time period.”
