I was the one that brokered the deal for Herb to draw Savage Dragon for Erik. I was friends with both guys and working with Herb, and Erik asked me to help make it happen. I actually hired Herb to work with me and Larry Hama on a book called COR Controlled Organic Robotics. It was the last cover Herb finalized in pencil and last story. I was inking the cover as I got a call that Herb passed.

My mom was friends with his wife, so I met him a few times as a kid and a teen. When I was about 12, I had a job for a few days organizing him comics collection. He received some/all Marvel comics for reference material. He had boxes upon boxes of comics. It was like a dream come true for a comic nerd like me to organize his collection. I’m pretty sure it was his wife’s idea, but he was very nice about it. I thought his kids were lucky because he got toys for GI Joe and Shogun Warriors (full size) since he drew those comics.

I met Herb once and only once at SDCC in 2012 or 13. I was (and am) a big GI Joe fan, and I had made a tiny comic of toy photography based on Joe. When I saw Mr. Trimpe sitting at his small booth in artist's alley, I stopped to offer my appreciation. We ended up chatting for about 20 minutes, and I tentatively offered him one of my littel books - thinking he might just kinda laugh it off. He totally brightened, and said "hold on!" He pulled out his phone, and showed me pictures of some 12-inch figures of his - they were WW2 pilot figures, posed in front of planes. He said they were his characters in a flight-sim game he loved to play. It was kismet. We talked about how it was just good to be creative and have fun. He took my book, and then gave me the print he had brought to sell - a beautiful amalgamation with Shogun Warriors (which I also loved!), Hulk, Wolverine, and GI Joe. He signed it "To Nas - You are right!" I love that print. I loved that interaction. I never got to chat with him again, sadly. But it sure feels good to know I got to meet such a treasure of the comic-book world, and really - a treasure of a man. Thanks for this episode!

I never collected the Hulk. I appreciated him as I did Superman when he returned in Kingdom Come… oh *bleep*, we’re screwed now. Which is to say, small dramatic doses. What I didn’t realize until this exceptional episode is that Herb Trimpe was responsible for my visual perception of the Hulk. Much like John Byrne for the X-Men, Neal Adams with Batman, Steranko for Nick Fury, or George Perez on everything he touched in the 80s, but especially the Teen Titans. In any case, when I’d see Trimpe’s name on post-Hulk stuff, it was never “oh, I’ve got to get this!” but there was the security that the work would be solid. Now, learning his story and his attitude, my appreciation has vaulted to admiration. Thank you for that Chris. With that in mind, I hope anyone watching this channel on their $1000 phone, paying $100 or more for cell service, drinking their daily $5 cup, can actually find as little as $1 a month for Patreon to support a creator who has provided us with hours of thoughtful, insightful, and fun content for years.
