That's a photo of Gene Colan. If you read a Marvel Comic in the late sixties or seventies, you know and love the work of Gene Colan. He drew most of their books at one time or another but was especially noted for long runs on Daredevil, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, Sub-Mariner, Tomb of Dracula and Howard the Duck. Great guy, great artist.
If you are anywhere near Mountain View, California this weekend, you have a rare opportunity to meet Gene Colan, shake the hand that drew all those great comics and maybe buy a signed something. Gene rarely ventures far from home these days but on Saturday, December 6, he'll be at Lee's Comics in Mountain View from 2 PM to 4 PM. If I could get there, I would but I can't. Here's all the info you need to do what I can't do.
