About the author

Comic Book Artist. He studied pre-medicine at the University of Tennessee, and then moved to Aspen, Colorado, and later San Diego, where he taught martial arts, became an award winning water skier, and began drawing comic books. In 1994, he was hired by Top Cow Productions in Century City, California, where he was the co-creator of "Witchblade", a comic about a voluptuous female detective who fights evil with the aid of a mystical weapon that attaches itself to her arm and gives her superpowers. Turner later founded Aspen MLT, a Santa Monica publishing company that created online comic adaptations for the NBC television series "Heroes" and titles including "Fathom", a deep-sea story about a female superhero. He was also a regular cover artist for "Superman/Batman" and "The Flash". Turner's work was in demand for special editions and similar projects, and he drew covers for DC Comics' "Justice League" and Marvel's "Civil War". The milestone 500th issue of "Uncanny X-Men", released in July, 2008, featured one of Turner's special edition covers. He died of complications from chondrosarcoma, a form of bone cancer he had begun treatment for in 2000.

Reviews

[47Time · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sara teams up with Lara Croft to investigate the Weave. It's centered on the One Who Sleeps and manifests in balls of energy that can take control of people's minds. Lara finds the One Who Sleeps, he passes a tremendous power into her and gives her the goal to free him so he can change history. Some people from 3000 years in the future escape into this time so they can complicate things. Their role isn't too obvious yet, but the Witchblade gets passed around in this story more than in any other up till now. It's worth reading primarily for the graphical details, even if nobody really dies.
