Re: Gene Colan In Serious Health
That's terrible news. I met him last year at NYCC and he was such a sweet guy.
Let's also not forget his magnificant runs on Daredevil and Tomb of Dracula.

Re: Gene Colan In Serious Health
That's a drag. Even at his age Gene still really has a passion for comic book art and it's sad to see him in this condition. Gene's a legend in my mind. He added an amazing depth to his action scenes that were just as great as Kirby at his best.
