Gene Colan

Confession time - it took a long time for me to appreciate Gene Colan's work. When I was a kid, his work on Daredevil and Tomb of Dracula never appealed to me - not that I was a big fan of Marvel stuff in general anyways - and it wasn't until I took a look at his later independent work (Detectives Inc., Nathaniel Dusk, Ragamuffins, etc.) years later that I began to see what I'd missed, with his ability to create mood and suspense on the printed page.

This is a genre piece scripted by Stan Lee, a romance story from Teen-Age Romance #86, published in 1962 by Zenith (aka Marvel).
