Legendary comic book artist
Herb Trimpe, the first artist ever to draw the iconic Wolverine, has sadly passed
away at the age of 75 according to his cousin Glen Baisley, who on his Facebook
page wrote:
This past weekend I had the pleasure of seeing my
cousin, Herb Trimpe, in action doing what he loved - meeting fans and drawing
comics. I was there capturing video and interviews about his life and work with
Marvel for a documentary that we were planning to work on.
Little did I know, this would be the final time I would get to see him. I wanted to share some very sad news with everyone. Monday night, Herb passed away.
He was a legend in the industry, the first artist to draw Wolverine for publication (HULK issue #181) and penciled some of the most iconic characters ever. He will be greatly missed.
Best known for his work on such
titles like The Incredible Hulk, where Wolverine first appeared, The Defenders,
Iron Man, and Thor, Trimpe also co-created Captain Britain and his sister
Psylocke.
