He was one of those artists that made drawing look so natural and deceptively easy. We lost one of the good ones. |

When I met he & Larry (I believe Atlanta JoeCon) they autographed this Magazine-size digest for me. Neither one had ever seen the product before, and we had a little conversation about it. Enjoy every sandwich. Attachment: HT.jpg [ 423.72 KiB | Viewed 1491 times ] Not forgotten, RIP. |

The cover to GI JOE #1 is iconic thanks to the artwork of Herb Trimpe. R.I.P. |

Heard about this just a few minutes ago. Very sad. Definitely a great comic artist and an excellent contributor to G.I. Joe. I'm also pleased that the Club enlisted his services for some file card illustrations a while back. |

Everyone in social media is focusing so much on his Hulk work, but for me he is just so definitively GI JOE. |

I had started buying the GI Joe comics after they had been out about a year. Eventually I had them all and realized I'd read some of them before, hehe. |

Sad day. He really means so much to what we enjoy here. |

I remember meeting him in Atlanta. I had a Joe shirt with an iron on of this art http://www.yojoe.com/vehicles/83/accessorypack/ Even though Hasbro ripped off his issue #1 art, he'd never seen it before

Does anyone recall whether there were any vehicles that Trimpe designed that ended up being made into toys? |

I honestly don't know, but I do recall in one early letter-column of the comic book, some letter-writer made reference to a remarkable plane that they'd seen in one particular issue, and wondered what it was, one would assume hoping it would be a forthcoming toy. The response from Marvel was, "That was a Trimpe-Jet!"  I think we need a Trimpe-Jet. |

Man this guy. He did the best comics. I ate up everything he drew. All my PIT dioramas are tributes to him. Sigh. |
