Donomark Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 About halfway through into the Des and Chris segment. Chris is an excellent salesman for Gene Colan, I gotta get me an Iron Man Essential to see his stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 As good as his Iron Man is (and it's terrific), his work on Doctor Strange and Tomb of Dracula is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yeah, Tomb of Dracula is Colan's best work. And, knowing you're a Batman fan, there's a hardcover of some of his stories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 What they said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 (But still, grab Essential Iron Man Vol. 2.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 OH RIGHT, there is a Legends of the Dark Knight artist hardcover on Colan's Batman work! I forgot about that! Which would you say is his best stuff? Iron Man, Tomb of Dracula, Batman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Objectively, it's Dracula, but I have a huge fondness for his work on Dr. Strange. Basically, any opportunity for Colan to do dark and moody is a very safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koete Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 His work on the two Nathaniel Dusk mini-series, if covered up at times by Don McGregor's overwriting, is beautiful. They haven't been collected so you'd have to track down the issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 Yeah, Nathaniel Dusk, Dr. Strange, Howard the Duck and Tomb of Dracula are all the best places to go with Colan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 2, 2014 Report Share Posted November 2, 2014 From this conversation, one might think that Chris and I actually covered Gene Colan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Actually guys I've been getting heavy into your backlog of Tomb of Dracula reviews. Great stuff! I even sort of went as Blackula for Halloween last week as a result in honor of the episodes playing so often on my iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 Nice! There should be a new one out in the next couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
