Sad news from the comic industry today with the announcement that artist Michael Turner died late Friday night from complications arising from his ongoing fight against cancer. Turner, who had worked for DC and Marvel Comics providing covers for books like <em>Superman/Batman</em>, <em>Civil War</em> and <em>Uncanny X-Men</em> as well as creating his own line of comics under his Aspen MLT label, had been diagnosed with chondrosarcoma in the year 2000 but had remained optimistic about his health throughout his extensive treatment. Aspen Comics have asked those wishing to make a charitable donation on Turner's name to donate to <a href="http://www.cancer.org/docroot/home/index.asp">the American Cancer Society</a> or to the <a href="http://www.wish.org/help/donate">Make-A-Wish Foundation</a>. Turner was 37 years old.				<a href="http://io9.com/5020488/rip-michael-turner" title="Click here to read more about RIP Michael Turner">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
