Gene Colan, 84, a comic-book artist whose career spanned seven decades and who illustrated the adventures of characters like Dracula, Batman, Daredevil and Howard the Duck, died Thursday in the Bronx.
A longtime friend said Colan died from complications of liver disease and cancer.
Colan developed a style both subtle and emotional that imbued characters he drew with vitality that seemed to leap off the pages. His work earned him the nickname Gene “The Dean” Colan. The Associated Press
