RIP, indeed. I always respected that he reinvented himself after his art career was over and started teaching. I hear he was a real nice guy, too.

Downheartening to hear that another big comics name has gone. Some of the first Marvel comics I was ever exposed to were B&W UK reprints of the Hulk, featuring his art.

R.I.P. I really loved his work on The Incredible Hulk.

Really sad to hear this.
Was introduced to his art on the 1977 Marvel comic book adaptation of GODZILLA.
RIP.

I met Mr. Trimpe two days ago at the con. I watched him draw a commission while waiting to get my book signed. This is awful news.
I feel that meeting him last weekend is that much more special now.

Too bad.
The Hulk has been my favorite comic book character going on 40 years, now. One cannot be a fan that long and not admire Trimpe's run on the series. I recently bought The Essential Godzilla, as I dug his work on that, too.
I got a chance to meet him a couple of years ago, had him sign some of my copies of those classic Hulk issues and a print of the Hulk Rolling Stone cover from 1971.
It was a brief meeting, but he seemed like a genuinely nice guy who still just really loved to draw.

One of my all time favorites. Herb Trimpe was the artist on the first comic that I bought monthly, G.I. Joe. I remember when I realized that Mike Vosburg was staying and Trimpe wasn't comic back to G.I. Joe and how I was actually angry because I liked Trimpe's art better.

I am very, very depressed to hear about this. A truly underrated artist with a distinctive style.
Hulk sad.
RIP.

Truly sad news. Not only one of the all-time great Hulk artists, but he was the ultimate go-to guy for licensed projects. Shogun Warriors, Godzilla, Indiana Jones, G.I. Joe, U.S.1 easily come to mind. A true cornerstone of my childhood. R.I.P.
