Mike Wieringo
I was laying in bed last night, reading from my new stack of comics that I picked up on the weekend, and saw a page dedicated to Mike Wieringo, comic book artist and writer. I won't pretend to know alot about the man, beyond what I learned this morning from looking him. I didn't know any personal details about him at all, actually. But I did love his work. When I started collecting comics again, he was working with Mark Waid on Fantastic Four. It was the strangely "cartoonish" style of the book that drew me in at first. When I was picking my titles at the outset, I wanted to have FF as one of those titles because I thought the work was imaginative and warm, something I thought tyhe book should be. The team wasn't really a team of "super heroes", so much a family of highly curious and imaginative people, and Wieringo's style, in my opinion at least, captured that. Anyway, I thought I'd come and raise a glass to a man I never knew, but who somehow worked his way into my imagination. Thanks Mike.
