Born in 1926, Gene Colan attended the Art Students League before serving in World War II. His career in comics began in 1944, and he soon became a regular on Westerns, war comics and mystery tales for DC Comics and Marvel. Renowned for his ability to drawn moody, dramatic stories as well as superhero action, Colan illustrated long runs on Marvel's Daredevil, Iron Man, Sub-Mariner, Dr. Strange, Tomb of Dracula and Howard the Duck. Colan returned to DC Comics in the 1980s, where he illustrated the adventures of Wonder Woman and Batman, as well as the series NIGHT FORCE, SILVERBLADE, THE SPECTRE and NATHANIAL DUSK.
