Mike Wieringo Pinup in EM11

We were devistated to learn that our good friend, comic
artist Mike Wieringo passed away last week at just 44 years
young. Mike lent his wonderfully fun and joyful art to the
most well-known characters in comic books, from Spider-Man
to the Fantastic Four. Just a few short years ago we teamed
up with him and writer Todd DeZago in the pages of their
creator-owned comic book fantasy adventure series, TELLOS.

This is a piece Mike drew for us back then, which we’ll be
running full-size in Elephantmen #11 in tribute to Mike.

step-by-step creation process.

Additionally, we’ve lowered the price on Mike’s font set to
just $39, and will donate all proceeds through August 2008
to the Hero Initiative, a non-profit group that provides a
financial safety net for comic book creators in need.

Mike was very much A Friend of Comicraft and will be missed
by us all.
