RIP

I just heard that news and I'm sad to hear that he passed away.

 

My experiences with Herb were amazing. He always spent time talking with you while you waited for an autograph or sketch. He was so modest and extremely talented. I will always enjoy the times we chatted.

I recalled right: this book by Herb would be great to read, especially now:

This is shocking news.

 

Such a nice and humble man with a never ending supply of talent that was only matched by his graciousness.

R.I.P.

Here is a pretty decent comic book drawn by him.

Was a good way to start off the series.

 

Trimpe and Hama are GI Joe to me... they brought all my toys to life as a child He was still doing 'Joe covers for the IDW series - it was awesome that IDW got Trimpe and Hama back together for the relaunch (well the cover at least). He's done several of the covers for the IDW GI Joe: ARAH series.

 

 

 

Honored to have this...

One of the greats. I was lucky to get a spider man sketch at NYCC in '12.

Wow, very shocking and very sad. What a great guy. Those pictures being posted are just the way he was. I met him several times and we always joked a bit. He and his wife were always very gracious to his fans.

 

GA guys are mostly gone as are SA guys. Now BA guys are leaving us as well. Make a point to seek out these people and say thanks while you can. Life is very short and fragile guys.

Indeed. I dont know how to begin to explain what an impact this had on me, seeing him only 2 days ago smiling laughing and doing what he does best - drawing. So surreal

So sad to hear this.

Very sad news. I met him and his wife for the first time this Feb. when I got my Thing sketch. He was very nice and fit my sketch in as he was happy to draw something different. I feel very lucky to have met him at least once. He will be missed but never forgotten.

I grew up with Herb on Hulk.

RIP.

RIP. Another piece of my childhood passes on.

 

When I think of the Hulk, it was Herb Trimpe's run that I always picture. He will be missed.
