RIP: GENE COLAN

The Comics Industry has lost one of its GREATS...
Legendary artist GENE COLAN passed away Thursday at the age of 84.

Colan was a trailblazer for comics, specifically his Marvel work, where he co-created BLADE & THE FALCON. His DAREDEVIL and TOMB OF DRACULA work are to this day synonymous with the characters themselves.... as are IRON MAN, NAMOR, CAPTAIN MAR-VELL, HOWARD THE DUCK and DR STRANGE.

Gene Colan was a rockstar and has influenced generations of comic fans (whether they're aware of this fact or not!). Thank you for all your awesome work, Mr. Colan!

Here's but a few examples of his gorgeous work:
