The news making the rounds is that Gene Colan’s liver is failing.
I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Colan last year at the New York Comic Con. I received a Howard the Duck sketch, he signed a copy of Daredevil #54 that I purchased earlier, and – and most importantly – I got to shake his hand and say “thank you”.
Action has been taken and plans are being put into place to offer Gene and his wife Adrienne assistance during this time.

My thoghts are with the Colans, their family, and friends.
