| jeff - I have been buying comics since the early '70s (Jerry Bails was my mentor) and when I saw how my comic digest was packaged I had to let you know that I am happy, and impressed to no end! Postal-gorilla-proof packing, instant shipping, spot ON grading...what more can a comic nut ask for?! Thanks to limitations on just how much I can write for your feedback I had to restrain myself a tad, and then finally had to resort to a bit of creative editing to get it in there. So, for you, and your crew, job WELL done!!! I will definitely be checking in regularly on your auction. |
Eli[1] Katz (April 6, 1926, Riga, Latvia – January 31, 2000, Miami, Florida, United States) who worked under the name Gil Kane and in one instance Scott Edward, was a comic book artist whose career spanned the 1940s to 1990s and every major comics company and character.
Kane co-created the modern-day versions of the superheroes Green Lantern and the Atom for DC Comics, and co-created Iron Fist with Roy Thomas for Marvel Comics. He was involved in such major storylines as that of The Amazing Spider-Man #96–98 (May–July 1971), which, at the behest of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, bucked the then-prevalent Comics Code Authority to depict drug abuse, and ultimately spurred an update of the Code. Kane additionally pioneered an early graphic novel prototype, His Name is...Savage, in 1968, and a seminal graphic novel, Blackmark, in 1971.
In 1997, he was inducted into both the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame and the Harvey Award Jack Kirby Hall of Fame.
