Gene “The Dean” Colan is one of the true legends of the comic book world. With a career spanning seven decades, his body of work will never be matched. Starting at the age of 17 drawing tech comics about the P-51 Mustang before he could enter the Army himself, and continuing on to Captain America in 2009, Gene Colan has gone from Timely to Marvel, from Dracula to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and from propaganda comics for the greatest generation to album art for Rob Zombie. He is a true original.
If you’re unfamiliar, do yourself a favor and pick up The Invincible Gene Colan, a stunning hardcover tribute from the fine folks at The Hero Initiative, a non-profit organization that raises money for comic creators in need who’ve given so much to our world. Collecting art from the man himself and commentary by the likes of Stan Lee, John Romita Sr., and Neil Gaiman, The Invincible Gene Colan is a perfect tribute to the man, his work and his legacy.
