Gene in January, Day Twenty NineCaptain America #137 page 20 by Gene Colan and
Bill Everetthttps://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1698978
This is the final superhero page rendered by Gene Colan and Bill Everett. In
addition to a few covers, Gene and Bill lent their talents to about ninety-four
Sub-mariner, Black Widow and Captain America pages. Still to come were three
romance stories in My Love #13, 15 and 16, adding an additional 18 pages to
their output, for around 115 pages altogether (including covers). For
atmosphere and portraiture, Colan/Everett romance art is tops, and to date I've
only ever found one example.
Colan/Everett art has what can only be described as charisma. Bill Everett's
supple line moves along the forms on this page to exquisite effect. Everett's
flowing hatching harmonizes beautifully with Gene Colan's sweeping rhythms, and
brings a fine luster to the great penciller's inventive and inspirited
mise-en-scène. Gene brought his cinematic vision to every page of his two year
Captain America run (#116-137, from 1969-71), but his art strolled or soared
based on the inker assigned to the book. So, we can be thankful that Joe
Sinnott and Bill Everett inked the issues they did. This is art I love any time
I return to it.
