same! Gene always seems to be the Black Swan of the OG Marvel Bullpen. His art is so "cerebral". It doesn't always make the best poster art, but his art makes you THINK. It's like he's painting concepts that his hand only has so much time to sketch out in a way for our eyes to understand. I feel like his art was always "frantic", but in a very curious and telling/interesting way. I have a few dozen books (including early DD's) signed and from his personal collection I'm proud to say. Spoke with his son a few times about his dad's work too. Very interesting man. Not the average Joe. K - preach session concluded, but I felt compelled to chime in and support good ol' Gene!
