Colan: Visions of a Man without Fear
November 15, 2008 - March 15, 2009
The Cartoon Art Museum is honored to celebrate the life and work of cartoonist Gene Colan with a retrospective entitled Colan: Visions of a Man without Fear. This exhibition inlcudes over 40 examples from Colan's long creative career, from his one and only story illustrated for legendary publisher EC Comics in 1952, through his fondly-remembered work for Marvel Comics from the 1960s and 1970s on titles as diverse as Iron Man, Tomb of Dracula and Howard The Duck, to his notable run on DC Comics' Batman in the 1980s, to his more recent efforts, including fan-commissioned illustrations and his beautiful pencil artwork on titles such as Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of The Escapist, published by Dark Horse Comics.
This exhibition has been assembled by Guest Curator Glen David Gold, author of the novel Carter Beats the Devil and many comics-related essays. An exhibition catalog featuring high-quality reproductions of Colan's artwork and essays from many of his most notable collaborators, including writers Stan Lee, Marv Wolfman, Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart, will be available at the Cartoon Art Museum prior to the exhibition's opening reception on December 4, 2008.
