Gene Colan

Nice to see he rated a respectful obit in the New York Times.

I spoke to him once, about fifteen years ago.  A mutual friend had put him in touch.  He called, wanting advice on how to break into movie storyboarding.  Talk about overqualified!  I tried not to gush.

Quite the film buff, I gather from an interview I read.   I can see why he would've wanted to do a little bit of that, even in the Autumn of a career.  I wonder if he did.

The most painterly penciller in comics, this side of Everett Raymond Kinstler.  Always a sense of directional light, body movement, windblown leaves, splashing water, flowing drapery, impressionistic but convincing architectural ornament.  Glamorous, realistically drawn women. 

I admired him.

Always regret not buying the original art to a lovely Atlas western story from Mr. Colan several SD Cons ago... just didn't have the $$ at the time. I've picked up at least a dozen pieces since, from his Dracula work to Daredevil to some exquisite Superman stuff. One of the greats!

Here's the answer to your query. Gene did ONE storyboard, for a video called Frost: the First Vampire.
