Adrienne Colan, wife of Gene Colan, Passes


Adrienne Colan passed away last night or sometime this morning. We do not have all of the details yet.

Erik Colan broke the news to Gene about 20 minutes ago and then Gene and I spoke. All things considered, he is holding up well.

Note added at 4:55 pm: The medical examiner has not yet determined the day nor the cause of Adrienne Colan's death. She was found at her home.

Oh, no... I'm so sorry to hear this news for Mr. Colan, the family and friends, such as yourself. Is there a proper place to forward our condolences to the family?

That is so sad...Adrienne did me many kindnesses and I very much enjoyed the times I had together with her and Gene. I am terribly sorry to hear this and wish the best for Gene and his family.

I just found out about this and am very sad. I was lucky enough to talk with Gene and Adrienne at a few San Diego Comic Cons, and they always made me feel like I was not just another fan of Gene's art -- that I was important and that they actually enjoyed chatting with me. What a gift! And Adrienne was just the best -- so protective of Gene, and a smile that could light up the room. My heartfelt condolences to those who knew Adrienne and especially to Gene.
