Gene Colan
Long-time comic book artist, perhaps best known for his work at Marvel. At that company, Gene drew a revival of the Sub-Mariner in the mid-1960s; took over from artist Don Heck on Iron Man; took over from John Romita Sr. on Daredevil; spent time drawing Captain America; and launched a successful Marvel adaptation of Dracula. Fans appreciate his use of shadow for dramatic effect and his ability to draw romantic and action scenes. In the 1980s, he was successful on DC's Batman titles.

  • Trivia
    Began working for Marvel Comics in 1965 as "Adam Austin". He did not use his real name, because he was still doing work for DC Comics, and was afraid he'd be fired for freelancing with a competitor. However, when he moved over to Marvel full-time after a few months, he reverted to his real name.
