Really looking forward to this. Gene Colan was a giant of an artist, whose work on Captain America during the '60's is frequently overlooked. I loved his run with Stan Lee, and can't wait to see this.

That scene takes place during Civil War, or right after it, when Bucky was still working for Nick Fury.

For a guy his age as well as his eye condition, this is pretty damn impressive.
I'm really glad the folks at Marvel as well as Ed gave Gene a shot to do this particular issue.

Perfect humility dispenses with modesty.

So I guess going by that recap page, Steve is from the Lower East Side. I recall JoeQ and some others kept saying he was from Brooklyn (which I guess you could still throw in a change of address or something in his origin), but I remember it being mentioned in an old issue or something that Steve was from the Lower East Side. I guess some of these small incongruities between the published work and creators/editors gets to me at times.

Are you guys getting preview pages with Winter Soldier in them? I'm just getting the two covers. Can someone post a scan of the preview pages please? Originally Posted by CBR News

It's stunning how much better the uncolored pencils look. I'm not a fan of coloring directly over pencils to begin with, and although I generally like D'armata's coloring on Cap, the color just crushes the life out of Colon's delicate rendering.
I started reading comics when Colan was still a regular presence and I have to say I was never big on his work then. My bad. It's a shame that printing tech in the 80's couldn't accurately render pencil shadings like this, because even the best inkers of the day couldn't do full justice to Colan's pencils. I have no idea how old Colan is (in his 80's I'm guessing) but I doubt most guys a third his age could touch this on the best day of their careers. Outstanding stuff.

I totally agree. I'm going to buy the B&W version. Gene Colan's art is still amazing! Originally Posted by kalorama

As to what Fury said about the fight in Civil War, and Fury saying "something doesn't look right", I wonder what that means? Is it just because Thor was fighting against Cap?Visited NY and DC and saw Spider-Man Turn off the Dark.
