Part two is up!

Totally with you regarding Gene Colan. The only reason he and JR didn’t get a mention is because they were among some of the title’s strongest creators on the title, and most definitely NOT the reason the title floundered so badly later on, which is what the second part focuses on.

But I’ll wait till part 2 to make sure you mention the all-time greats behind DD’s success–Bill Everett, Wally Wood, John Romita and Gene Colan. No artist’s been on the title longer than Gene to my knowledge, and no one made him look better, more graceful or more real.

If Miller had a different artist illustrating his stories, I would have bought the series for sure. Glad to see Paolo Rivera mentioned, as his covers are among the most innovative and visually effective in the book’s 50-year history. Happy birthday, DD!
