Writer Clifford Meth has shared the sad news that legendary comics artist Gene Colan passed away today, at age 84. According to Meth, Gene spent this last week in a quasi-coma state following a broken hip and complications from liver disease.

I am honestly a little lost for words. This is devastating news. Gene’s work on titles like Daredevil, Howard the Duck, Detective Comics, and Tomb of Dracula was legendary, and this is a sad lost for the comics industry.

My sincerest condolences go out to his family. He will be missed.
