AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original inked page by Gene Colan and Dick Ayers for page 16 of issue 134 of Captain America ('They Call Him - Stone-Face!'), published by Marvel in 1970.
Very beautiful comic page from the very beginning of the Bronze Age of comics, illustrating Gene Colan's mastery of shadows and light.
This is a rhythmic action sequence featuring Captain America performing his iconic shield throw.
Issue 134 of Captain America marks a key milestone: The Falcon officially becomes a partner of the hero and has his name added to the comic's title (Captain America and the Falcon).
Gene Colan (1926–2011): The Painter of Shadows
Gene Colan was a major American comic book artist, renowned for his unique visual style that redefined superhero aesthetics, particularly during the Silver and Bronze Ages of comics (the 1960s and 1970s).
An Inimitable Style
Unlike his contemporaries like Jack Kirby, who used clear and dynamic lines, Colan was a master of chiaroscuro.
His major works at Marvel
His legacy is inseparable from the 'House of Ideas'.
Daredevil: He is considered by many as one of the definitive artists of the 'Man Without Fear,' having illustrated the series for a large part of the 60s and 70s.
Captain America: He made history for Steve Rogers at the end of the 1960s. It was in the pages of this title (Captain America #117 in 1969) that he co-created the character of Falcon (Sam Wilson) with Stan Lee, the first African-American superhero in the history of mainstream comics.
The Tomb of Dracula: With writer Marv Wolfman, he created a cult horror series that lasted 70 issues. It is also where they introduced the character of Blade.
End of Career and Heritage
Gene Colan continued to draw until the end of his life, even receiving an Eisner Award in 2010 for a special standalone issue of Captain America (#601), demonstrating that he still mastered the character perfectly at 83 years old. He passed away in 2011.
The colored pages from issue 134 of 'Captain America and the Falcon' are presented for informational purposes only.
