SETH FISHER | REST IN PEACE

Pictured: Artwork for Fantastic Four: Big In Japan by Seth Fisher.

Though I'm a longtime comic book reader, I only recently (last year) discovered the work of Seth Fisher. A close friend recommended I check out his work. I was really taken by Seth's distinctly original style. The lush colors, extensive detail, and inherent humor in his artwork was strikingly fresh. I was very sad to hear that such a young and talented artist (who was also a husband and father) had died. Rest in piece.

Here is a brief message, written by Seth's sister, about his untimely death:

"It's much too soon, but the Flowering Nose will flower no more. Seth has died (July 22, 1972 to January 30, 2006). Monday, January 30th Seth Fisher died accidentally from a fall. His death was sudden, swift, and a great loss to us all. His funeral and cremation occurred on February 2nd in Nagoya. Condolences can be sent to his wife Hisako and son Toufuu via the contact information on this site."
