| BATMAN3D - By the way "Thank you" for this book! For years I have wondered and looked for it. I just now started doing a little bit of buying on eBay. Kinda seems crazy but, ever since I turned 60, I long for the things of my childhood. This was one of those good memories. I smiled as I opened the box ... It's a book I will always treasure. I appreciate the fact the comic book was just as you described. I am finding out there are sellers out there that are somewhat deceptive. |
Gene grew up in New York & graduated from George Washington High School (a one-of-a-kind public school majoring in gifted students in the visual arts). Gene also studied at the Art Students League of New York under renowned illustrator Frank Riley and the famous surrealistic, modern Japanese painter Kuniashi. During World War II, a two year ticket with Special Services in the Army Air Corps found Corporal Colan in the Philippines where his artwork brightened the pages of the Manila Times and won him numerous awards. Back in the States, Gene Colan's official career in comics began in 1944 at Fiction House drawing Wings Comics. Gene then settled down to the task of finding a permanent niche in the comic industry, showing work to both National (DC) and Timely (Marvel) Comics. Stan Lee at Timely Comics was impressed enough to hire Gene for around sixty odd dollars a week. Since that time, Gene has been associated with both companies from 1946 to the present day. In addition, Gene has also freelanced for numerous independent publishers over the years as well.
