Gene Colan, RIP

Very sad news in the last few days with the passing of one of the giants of the comic book art world...'Gentleman' Gene Colan. I first discovered Gene's work on his early 80's Night Force comic, and man it just blew me away -- he could draw mood like no one else I'd ever seen. I've since rediscovered the fabulous Tomb of Dracula series, as well as his amazing run on Howard the Duck (Gene was an amazing cartoonist...he could do it all). I am currently enjoying his second run on Dr. Strange.

My tribute below, based on the double page spread he did for the last issue of the regular TOD comic series:
