Last night Mike Turner died at age 37 from cancer that he had been battling since 2000. He never let it get to him always looked at the bright side and most importantly never gave up.
It is indeed a sad day for comic lovers,artists,his family/friends, and the art community it self.
Why is it always the great ones that leave us so soon. :crying: |

| Whoa, so young. I didn't know he was struggling with that. At least we have his work, that's eternal. |

From what I have read about Turner, he was a great guy who did everything he could to please his fans. He was a great artist, and he will surely be missed.
I don't know if it makes sense, but cancer does give you a positive attitude. It definitely makes you see the world differently.

| I think the reference to burning books was "Farenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. It has been so long since I read Brave New World, I can't recall if it has book burnings in it. :-) |

I think the reference to burning books was "Farenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. It has been so long since I read Brave New World, I can't recall if it has book burnings in it. :-)
From wikipedia:
Fahrenheit 451, is a dystopian soft science fiction novel by Ray Bradbury...The novel presents a future American society in which the masses are hedonistic, and critical thought through reading is outlawed. The central character, Guy Montag, is employed as a "fireman" (which, in this future, means "book burner"). The number "451" refers to the temperature (in Fahrenheit) at which a book or paper autoignites.
Brave New World is a 1932 novel by Aldous Huxley. Set in the London of AD 2540 (632 A.F. in the book), the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology, biological engineering, and sleep-learning that combine to change society. |

| I just read the book though, and I beleive they had gotten rid of all the books in Brave new world. The world ruler had a secret stash of books, such as the bible, but no one else was allowed to have such things--and no one really wanted them either |
