I was recently both honored and excited as the Two Morrows Publishing Company asked me to write an article for their September, 2026, ( #45) issue of “Comic Book Creator.” The magazine is devoted to comic book artist/creator, Gene Colan, who would have been 100 years old on September 1st.
I was asked to write about Gene’s ongoing friendship with me over the years as we took turns calling one another on the phone.
The magazine is being released this upcoming Wednesday (comic book day…August, 12th) in all of your comic shops around the country. I’m not sure if the big book stores (Barnes and Noble for example) will be carrying them, but ask your book store or comic book dealer for it. I’ve already received my advance copy and Gene takes up the whole back half of the magazine and I think it’s a great one for fans of Gene’s art.
In a comic panel talk session that I was on with one-time Marvel head, Jim Shooter a few years back, he announced that Gene was probably in the top 5 comic artists of all time, drawing Daredevil, Tomb of Dracula, Captain America and Batman as well as drawing and co-creating, Guardians of the Galaxy!
Look for it, you won’t be disappointed!
