Gene Colan Tribute at NY ComicCon


New York ComicCon has asked me to chair a tribute panel to Gene Colan at this year’s convention. As such, I spent the early part of this evening chatting with Johnny Romita Sr., Tom Palmer, Joe Sinnott, Roy Thomas and Don McGregor. Everyone loved Gene and has wonderful memories they’d be delighted to share—it’s really just a question of who will be coming to con. I’ve also reached out to Walter Simonson and David Lloyd, who I believe will have unique perspectives on Gene’s influence. Stay tuned.

That sounds like a great panel shaping up. Giants! In praise of another giant. Very fitting.

I won't be able to be there myself but maybe it'll turn up on youtube or something, or at least a transcript somewhere.
