I already bought the "Essential" version of the same, but I sure would like the version with color....

I think Meth has done a disservice by giving Marvel good PR too soon. Still, if Marvel ends up not coming through then they are really going to look terrible. We'll see.

As for opening my mouth, I can only truly apologize for not being the elite comic book historian that you are. thanks Fabio, I honestly did not know what his contributions were and was too lazy to look them up.

I am thinking of Marv Wolfman and Steve Gerber, who sought him out for his post-Marvel creation Stewart The Rat. The only other person who Gerber sought out in the same way - for Destroyer Duck - was one Jack Kirby. Marv Wolfman also twice sought him out for post-Marvel work, which resulted in a few of Colan's non-Marvel jobs. He was also universally reputed as a joy to work with, imaginative, polite and always on time. Gene Colan was head-hunted by Stan Lee and was a favourite of many of the very best Marvel writers.

How about two of the best comics in the seventies, Tomb of Dracula and Howard the Duck; not to mention the first classic run of Daredevil, long before Frank Miller was thought of, the only worthwhile Iron Man comics ever drawn, and so on and so forth and so following.
