Please Bookmark Gene Colan Site



I try to stay away from any and all news stories that feel more like rubbernecking than actual news, so I've been avoiding recent, speculation-driven Gene Colan (and Frank Frazetta) stories, but I did notice yesterday that there's an effort to raise money for Mr. Colan going on again, one that involves a combination of original art, personal collection items and donated offerings from Mr. Colan's friends. It seems like everything is priced in order to start generating cash rather than in the hopes of leveraging something into a higher price. I can't stress to you how much an artist of his caliber and a creator with his level of contribution to the multiple billion-dollar enterprise that is the intersection of his work with various comics properties deserves to live in his older years with dignity.

If you're a fan of Gene Colan's work, and he had a highly laudable career offering up work in a style so strong that even the marketplace revolution of Jack Kirby's 1960s superheroes couldn't move him off point, I would suggest bookmarking the site and checking back for material like the lovely pencil drawing above. That thing is ridiculous-looking.
