Gene Colan dead at 84

[Brandi]

If nothing else, his work on Marvel's Tomb of Dracula probably influenced a fair bit of Ravenloft.

Heck, one of the Arthaus artists (NOT Talon, thank goodness) liked Colan's work so well (s)he all but traced it for the Ravenloft DMG (p. 153-- unfortunately I don't have a Marvel Essentials at hand to show the comparable Tomb of Dracula panel).

Obit here.

It is a sad day, I loved the Tomb of Dracula comics when I was a kid
