He was the engine and the spirit of the '60s and '70s Marvel we grew up on.<br /><br />I think as an adult, I came to appreciate his art even more as I picked up Tomb of Dracula, Son of Satan, Brother Voodoo and other Colan works that I did not pick up much as a kid because they were not straight-forward superhero stuff. <br /><br />I owe a thanks to the Cartoon Art Museum for their dynamic Colan exhibit in March 2009 during Wonder Con. So glad I got to see those pencils up close. He will be missed...Greenblatt the Great!https://www.blogger.com/profile/05833132744552978594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-148500349447339883.post-6424944747232674032011-06-24T08:36:47.551-07:002011-06-24T08:36:47.551-07:00Such a huge body of work produced by Gene Colan.
