What a huge loss. I became a big fan with "Tellos," and I was always keeping an eye out for new stories. I hadn't heard about this hardcover, so I'll be sure to get it.
I loved his style and actually had told myself I'd commission a sketch from him at almost any cost if I saw him at a convention. And now I never will.
What a huge loss to the community.

Terrible, Horrible news... I'd loved Ringo's work since way back when Impulse appeared in the Flash title. Such a terrible loss to the community.

I don't know why. It isn't like I ever got to meet him, but I found myself thinking of 'Ringo all day and barely holding it together. Scott Kurtz, PvP creator, posted a personal remembrance just a bit ago. That was it for me.

I went and preordered the oversized TELLOS HC on Amazon. Almost the discount I'd get with IST, and it qualifies for free Super Saver shipping.
Not to be morbid, but I noticed the listing for signed and numbered copies... I went with the regular edition in case there -aren't- any signed and numbered yet...

This is really tragic, I feel badly for his friends and family.
I remember the first couple of issues of Flash that Ringo did, right after Greg's pheonominal "Return of Barry Allen" storyline, and thinking, This guy doesn't "get" Wally! I thought it looked too cartoony, and Wally's jaw looked like he was Jay Leno's love child or something. But by the 3rd or 4th issue, I was sold! He was one of those artists who could convey speed & motion well on paper. The pages were so simple, yet so vibrant and alive!!
He'll be missed by many!

I wasn't familiar with his work until after the Baltimore Comicon last year. He was on a collaborators panel with Waid, Kitson, Busiek, and a couple more guys. I bought a Flash trade the following week based on the kind words Waid said about having worked together with him. I enjoyed his work. My condolences to those who knew him better.

I loved his work on Flash the most. But on any title he drew that I picked up, his art alone was always worth the money. He will definitely be missed.

I loved the guys work on the Flash. His stuff just jumped off the page and was FILLED with life and fun and energy...and from all reports I've heard about him, those qualities were all embodied in the man himself.

Per Newsarama-- The people running the Baltimore Comic-Con Sept. 8-9 are planning a Wieringo tribute. There'll be details sometime next week.
