Gene Colan 1926-2011

Clifford Meth shares the details.



Gene Colan was one of my favorite artists in my early teen years, when I was first discovering comics.

The first full run of a comic book series that I read was Daredevil (lent to me by Kurt Busiek in middle school), including many issues drawn by Gene.

The first drawing I made of an established comic book character may well have been based on images he created for that series.

Gene Colan's work was unique, personal, and always a joy to look at. May he rest in peace.
