Tribute To A Master

Gene Colan Hardcover Coming In February

When you think of the classic Marvel artists, you think of masters of the medium such as Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, John Romita Sr, John Buscema, and Gene Colan. No wonder Marvel left all other American comics publishers in the dust.

This coming February, Marvel Entertainment will honor one of those gentlemen by releasing The Invincible Gene Colan, a visual tribute and biography of one of the most brilliant and influential comic artists in the genre's history – and one of the nicest guys on the block. Edited by our pal Clifford Meth, the book includes observations from Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, Neil Gaiman, Walter Simonson, Marv Wolfman, Tom Palmer, John Romita Sr., and Tom Spurgeon, as well as tons of Gene's beautiful art.

Aardwolf Publishing will have the exclusive signed-numbered copies as well as the extremely limited double-lettered remarqued, book-plated edition (each containing a unique sketch from the hand of Gene Colan).

Here's the details:
• Signed/numbered: $60 plus $5 shipping
• Double-lettered remarqued edition (contains Colan sketch; only 52 will be created): $140 plus $5 shipping
• Special offer: With any order, add another $15 and receive The Uncanny Dave Cockrum hardcover numbered edition ($40 retail value).
