I miss Mike Wieringo. His death really unsettled me. It came a few weeks before my birthday and I scoured the internet for what people had to say about him and it was A LOT! He was so well loved and his art so adored! I cried and cried as I read the amazing testimonials! I wish he had been able to live a much longer life.

His site www.mikewieringo.com seems to have some kind of bug that shuts down browsers. I dunno what that’s about. Google has a warning in its searches.
The images below are by Mike (I lifted them from his website). For my birthday, I printed them out and colored them an hour before my Super-Hero & Super-Villains party. Then I placed them all around the house. People kept asking me if I drew them and I had to say no, and then tell them all about Mike and how, even though I never met him (and to think we were both in North Carolina!) how much of an influence he was on me.

Mark Waid revealed that he and Mike pitched an Aquaman idea to DC, but they didn’t bite. Too bad, just from this pic, I’d bite! The Aquaman Shrine has a great post about the proposal.
Mike knew how to draw kids, too. No pint-sized adults for him, nosirree! This is his rendition of Power Pack!
