Dr. Strange Comission - Is It Yours?
Forgive us! Someone asked for--and paid for--a Dr. Strange commission... and your email address and info has vanished. Gene has finished the piece. Please claim it. Contact cliffmeth@aol.com
Iron Man #1 Cover Recreation by Gene Colan
It's really a one of a kind. Gene did this 22x28 cover recreation (pencils, inks, color) for himself in 2001. It took a long time, he's not doing anymore... and now it's for sale. Minimum bid is $5000.00

Gene Colan Selling Off the Last of His Original Art
There's a handful of pages from Buffy, Dracula, and other books and pages will be posted here over the next 4 to 6 weeks. Note that you are buying pages directly from Gene (who needs the money, alas) and we believe these prices are far below market. Regardless of when art posts, an index of art for sale (see right hand column of this blog) will be current.

The Gene Colan Blog Returns
We will be revamping this blog and selling more items of Gene's, as well as using this forum to post his new commission work.
Here's a typical inquiry:
I've been a fan of Gene's from the Rampaging Hulk days. I went to his web site and see that the store is down and was wondering if he's still doing commissions. If so, I'm inquiring into the price of a Hulk transformation piece in inks. 5 characters in landscape - from Bruce to the Hulk (left to right) on 11 x 17. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Answer: While Gene is not keen on drawing the Hulk in any event ("He's too ugly," said Gene, "and I've only done him a few times professionally") he would do this piece but only as 11x17 so that he could do it justice, and the cost is $1000 for tight pencils. Understand that he gets a lot of requests and can be picky as he is very slow in turning things around now.

Maximizing Sales for Gene
We've sold a few items on Ebay as well as via blind auctions to establish what the market is on Gene's art now. Over the next few days, we'll be posting items directly for sale, allowing us to cut out Ebay's fee. Note that more Capt. America pages will be offered, as well as pages from Blade, Buffy, SilverBlade, Bob Marley, Dracula, Clive Barker's Harrowers, Archie, and Moonlighting (a story with Harlan Ellison). We also have a small stack of Gene's personal file copy comics that will be available, and a few generously donated pieces of art. Stay tuned... and do spread the word.
