Headlocked Comics' Michael Kingston tweeted the following about Shad Gaspard, showing off artwork that was for a planned collaboration between Cryme Tyme's Gaspard and JTG:
This has been an incredibly emotional few weeks. Shad’s death hit me really hard.@Shadbeast @Jtg1284 and I had been working on a Tales From The Road story.

Today, I got final proof from the printer. @DNHills nailed the Power Man and Iron Fist homage for the cover. pic.twitter.com/SccAThY3Oq
The last thing he said to me was “super appreciate being part of this.” which is the type of guy he was...doing me the honor of collaborating but yet he’s thanking me for it.

I’ll be forever glad we got to collab on something but gutted he didn’t get to see the final product.
I can’t tell you how this will eventually be distributed but if you pay attention to what we do, you can prob figure it out.

This has been such a devastating year, man.
The GoFundMe Campaign to support Shad Gaspard's family has already surpassed its initial goal of $100,000 but is still ongoing. A number of personalities from pro wrestling as well as countless friends and fans. You can assist at this link. Gaspard, 39, drowned after being caught in a rip current while swimming with his son in Venice, CA. In his last act, Gaspard instructed lifeguards to attend to his son first.
