RIP. I remember not getting a TF book as a kid in the 80's until issue 4. When it was suppose to be over. I didnt miss one book after that. I never recognized the names of the staff until later on, but thank you for your contribution to my youth.

 

RIP, my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. I had these as a kid and remember spending hours flipping through his art.

 

Wow, sad moment. I loved the first 4 issues as a child.

However Bass's comment mad me actually LOFL!!!!!!!

 

RIP Frank Springer. you will be missed.

 

Always enjoyed Frank Springer's artwork in Transformers. He did a good job of making them feel "other worldly", and I liked the more toy-based stuff.

RIP Frank. Your work will be enjoyed for years to come!

 

RIP Frank Springer, you will be missed.  

 

Thats pretty sad

 

RIP, Frank Springer.  

 

  Frank.  

 

Till all are one, Frank...and thank you for getting me into the world of shapeshifting mechanoids in the first place. RIP.  

 

Those comics are what have me here today. Thanks for the inspiration and starting off a big passion in my life. RIP

 

  This may be new to me - but I offer my consoles to his family. Rest in Peace, Frank.  

 

The Reuben is a very prestigious award. To have won three times was quite an accomplishment. To put Springer's honor in perspective, you could make a serious argument for Charles Schulz being the most successful comic artist ever, and Schulz only won the Reuben twice. Rest in peace Mr. Springer.

 

And now I'm suddenly reminded of the TF Robot Chicken sketch...

But anyway, RIP

 

Sad news. I always preferred his pencils to most of the other pencil artists on the original TF series (especially those god-awful Geoff Senior issues). I always wanted to see him team with Stephen Baskerville for an issue or three.

RIP, Frank.

 

Thanks for everything Springer! you will be missed

 

One of my prized possetions is an orginal page from issue #2 of the first Mini-series.

Thank you Mr. Springer for helping me get into Transformers.

 

MY god
