I remember the Heroes Con that Alex Ross first came to where after meeting Mike, drew a perfect rendition of him hours later in a sketchbook. That corrected a lot of other artists who assumed Alex needed photos to draw a likeness, but as he said, “how could you forget that face?” [...] [...] Jeff Parker, who has a long write-up and several pictures of Mike: Mike was a living animation- his face always did exactly what you (and he) needed for a drawing, and he could always strike the optimum pose for a scene.

Thanks for posting all of these great pics of Mike. Rich and I have been passing around what we have run across and thanks for linking to my site where I've posted the ones I have. I wish there could be more but I hope these help show the kind of fun loving guy Mike was 'behind' the scenes. A great friend and a joy to be around. He even took the trash to the dumpster for me. Nice of you to remind me of that haha! Ahhh, the good old days... Craig Hey Jeff! Thanks for posting all of these great pics of Mike.

I found out about Mike yesterday. I'm still trying to get my head around it. Writing like this, with people who knew him, helps. I remember he could get a little. . . grim. But he always wanted to give of himself. He was one hell of a guy, and I agree that he would have made a great dad. It just doesn't make sense. . . James Jeff-
