The fan-fave was born 93 years ago…

The beauty of producing 13th Dimension is that there’s always more: more to spotlight, more to celebrate, more to enjoy.

I bring this up because it’s the late Gene Colan’s birthday — he was born Sept. 1, 1926 — and of all the pieces we’ve done on him over the years, we’ve never highlighted his work on Howard the Duck.

So grab a rumpled fedora, light up a cigar and dig this 13 COVERS birthday salute. And for links to previous celebrations featuring, say, Batman and Daredevil, see below.

Get down, America.
