“For the first couple of years of its existence, the Daredevil book didn’t have much of an identity. It kept changing direction, it kept changing tone, it didn’t quite know what it was until Gene came along and very quickly gave it a tone. Even more than Stan Lee, he was the key in giving that book an identity.” – Mark Waid

“My first introduction to Daredevil was through Gene Colan. For me, he’s synonymous with the comics of my youth, the first comics that I read.” – Axel Alonso

I used to be a big fan of his work.
His Tomb of Dracula is unsurpassed both in length and quality of one artist working on a series.. 70 issues and note one mediocre, not to mention the many stories in the b/w companions.

Just found out that the mum of Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso used to date Christopher Lee.
"My mom grew up in London and worked at the Royal Library where Christopher Lee researched his roles as an actor in the Royal Shakespearean Company. They dated for a while. She didn't tell me this – my aunt did. My mom eventually went on to marry another dark-haired Spanish guy named Angel Alonso, who immediately banned Hammer films in the Alonso household."
