I discovered him as a child,reading the spanish edition of Tomb of Dracula and his early work on Atlas (think about his first vampiric story 'He wished he was a vampire') and since that day,almost 40 years ago,I love him. No one can draw a vampire with his elegance.<br /> Another thing: Some days ago died another golden age great artist, Tony Di Preta. Could you post any of his stories as some kind of homage? I think he deserves it.<br /> Lots of thanks. I'll be waiting for new Colan's stories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-11664503782980306482010-06-30T21:37:55.567-05:002010-06-30T21:37:55.567-05:00GREAT DOUBLE, THE COLAN ART WAS AMAZING BUT I SORT...GREAT DOUBLE, THE COLAN ART WAS AMAZING BUT I SORT OF LIKED THE STORY ON THE FIRST ONE BETTER.

...PROF: Yes sir, ahhh Colan indeed... say no more.<br /><br />MYKAL: Colan's eerie atmosphere never fails to send a mundane plot right up onto a higher plane. This story is a perfect example.<br /><br />VICAR: It's possible that Colan worked from photos, I think alot of guys back then did actually... and the practice is still in affect today by kick assers like Alex Ross, etc.<br /><br />DREW: My pleasure, this is a great issue and deserves to be fully posted.<br /><br />TODD: I think the lesson to both stories is simple: If you're a bad person on the lam, stay the hell out of a morgue!<br /><br />See ya'll in July for more 50's TERROR--- and beyond!Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-5699852742767381602010-06-29T18:13:56.359-05:002010-06-29T18:13:56.359-05:00I love that caption on the cover.

Namely, both publishers had a habit of showing very gory cover images for a story title, then presenting the story with no real gore at all -- a bit of false advertising. (At least the EC Comics delivered what the cover promised.)Drewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-39439637346201822412010-06-29T08:59:33.701-05:002010-06-29T08:59:33.701-05:00I thought the drama in the first story was well do...I thought the drama in the first story was well done, very Twilight Zone-ish. The seconds story I didn't like quite as much, but I had to applaud the old man for his cold-blooded vengeance! Even sacrificing his dog for revenge...that's cold, man!<br /><br />I wonder though--is that splash panel on story 2 taken from a photograph, or a collage of photo/drawings, do you think? The faces there seem to have a much different style than the rest of the story. Or maybe I'm just wiggin'. :PThe Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-983171239671909762.post-42661348460563681002010-06-29T07:52:34.369-05:002010-06-29T07:52:34.369-05:00Man, I love Colan.
