Our gratitude.<BR/><BR/>Our current challenges are dwarfed by your generousity, love and respect for Gene. It means even more to be coming from men and women of great accomplishment in their own right. You've all enriched our life throughout Gene's six decades in Comics.<BR/>Thank you all dear friends. <BR/>Adrienne for GeneGene Colangenecolan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-51184864622705716782008-05-19T01:11:00.000-04:002008-05-19T01:11:00.000-04:00Let this be a wake up call ( yet again ) that health care should not have to be left up to charity. For the love of god people, always vote for people who're for universal health care. It works in the rest of the western world and actually costs them less. Do this, and you won't need to have people beg for charity when they get ill ever again.Rob Hackneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-22843899373254877252008-05-18T16:02:00.000-04:002008-05-18T16:02:00.000-04:00Steve Barber--<BR/>CD's?

In the 70s I always loved Mr. Colan's unique artistic style. His detailed work and moody style were beautiful. He was a real craftsman.<BR/>Ironically, I just bought the Essential Howard the Duck. I've read the first ten issues so far, and enjoyed them immensely. <BR/>My next Essential will be Tomb of Dracula. His art looks so much better in B&W.<BR/>-Martin AbelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-75154218854047615952008-05-16T09:49:00.000-04:002008-05-16T09:49:00.000-04:00Cliff - Two questions. <BR/>We would love to donate some of my wife's CDs to the effort, but they really don't fit the category, nor do my photos. Other than simply bidding for auction items, has any consideration been given to other artists who might want to donate auctionable material?<BR/>Secondly, I've just been to the Comiclink.com page and don't see any reference to the Colan auction -- do we just get a list from somewhere and go to comiclink to bid?<BR/><BR/>Steve BSteve Barberbarbergallery.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-35515253646218600432008-05-16T06:39:00.000-04:002008-05-16T06:39:00.000-04:00I've just ordered two copies of the book.

It's pathetic, really.<BR/>Where is Stan Lee? Has he any leverage at all to provide Gene with some type of health coverage? It must be very humbling to Gene indeed to have to rely on the handouts of fans instead of getting the help he needs from the companies. My heart goes out to Gene and his family, who are in my prayers.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07614691324815885803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544096816673140807.post-87971572816260551392008-05-15T17:29:00.000-04:002008-05-15T17:29:00.000-04:00Alan--<BR/>There's no doubt in my mind that Marvel will help.
