GIL KANE
A true master of the comics medium, Gil Kane is perhaps best known for
his artwork on DC's Silver Age books Green Lantern and The Atom, and for
his early 1970's work on Marvel's Spider-Man and Captain Marvel.
Kane's art is
notable for it's expressive figures, imaginative layouts and masterful anatomy,
and he is considered a major influence on the generations of artists who
followed him.
In the early 1980's, Kane teamed with writer Marv Wolfman for a memorable run on
Action Comics. Later he worked at the Ruby-Spears animation studio, where he
created character designs for their short-lived "Superman" cartoon series.
In a recent interview, he listed his tenure on "Action"
(along with "Sword Of The Atom" and some early westerns) as one of his proudest
achievements. At the time of his death, Kane was working on a Superman
graphic novel.
