chrisco37 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Bill Sienkiewicz just posted on his FB that Tim Sale has passed away. Great artist. Loved his work on Long Halloween and Dark Victory as well as Spider-Man: Blue and Hulk: Grey. I always thought he drew the best Catwoman.

malvin Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Yeah, I'm shocked by his passing (although I saw the announcement of his illness) My condolences to his family Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BVladimirHarkonnen Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Words as they often can be are feeble here. Long Halloween is one of my favorite stories and well got me more into Comic reading. I met Tim in 2018 at NYCC and was a pleasure. Incredible talent, safe journey to the hereafter Tim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapeape Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 I’d like to wipe 2022 right off the freaking calendar 😢 One of the nicest guys I ever met. I watched him work on commissions while sitting at conventions. A wondrous creator who will be missed. RIP Tim 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecclectica Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) I'm very sad to see this news. Met Tim in a french convention 25 years ago. A very nice guy. He took the time to make me a very beautiful drawing I still cherish today. I will cherish this drawing even more now. A giant.

JadeGiant Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Tim will be missed - both as an artist and a human being. He was just good to people which is not always the case any more. He always made time to chat and loved to draw for his fans. Here is a snip of my only commission experience (although we chatted a few times online). https://thejadegiant.wordpress.com/2013/06/26/tim-sale-hulk-commission-determination-pays-off-with-video-and-pictures/ BVladimirHarkonnen, Ecclectica, Catwoman_Fan and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malvin Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I'm really bummed about Tim's passing. I knew him better than many other artists and it was always great to talk to him at cons. As many of you might know from my origin story, a Tim Sale sketch and publish page were my first OA My first sketch - Wolverine My first published page: Superman for All Seasons Of course I have gotten many other great pieces from him since (including 2 covers on the way and not posted yet): Link to all my Tim Sale pieces My condolences again to his family and friends. He will be missed. Malvin grapeape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapeape Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Hey Marvin, way back at SDCC I had Tim draw Batman (gave it away as a gift) Superman(in my gallery) and Wolverine. I’m 99% sure you’re Wolverine is the same one I sold on eBay many years ago :-) He was the nicest man. As popular as he was getting, I still had amazing access to him at the DC booth. He was an original. And he was polite and kind. I loved watching him draw. RIP Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
