I have just heard the news that Herb Trimpe has passed away.
Across many decades at Marvel he worked on many different titles - I first encountered his art on reprints of his G.I. Joe and Transformers work and his work has featured in many Essential volumes reviewed here - but one series looms large in his career above all else, the Incredible Hulk. Many, many readers consider him to be the Hulk's greatest artist of all time.

Very sad when I heard the news last night, Tim. But it is touching to see so many lovely tributes popping up on the blogs.
ReplyDeleteHis work was well-loved and he was taken too soon.
