Rob Liefeld held a live broadcast on Periscope Thursday morning to announce that he will finish and unpublished X-Force story that was drawn by Herb Trimpe.
Trimpe passed away on April 13, 2015. He is best known for drawing the first Wolverine in Incredible Hulk and the first issue of ‘G.I.Joe A Real American Hero.’
Liefeld mentioned that he would finish the original pages and then Herb’s wife and agent would auction the pages off and all proceeds would go to a charity in Herb Trimpe’s name. There is no agreement at this time for Marvel Comics to publish the unfinished project. Liefeld stated that more details would become available as the project is completed.

Herb was so kind, so caring… A few dinners later and I felt like I had met my long lost favorite Uncle. He was a delight. RIP Mr. Trimpe.
