Around the end of
the summer of 1999, one Gene Colan fan, Paolo Costa, wrote to
me & asked if there couldn't be some way that Gene's fans could
have a little space on his site to talk to each other & share
interesting files, images, and information about more obscure
or interesting Colan work than some of the "standard"
stuff shown on the site. Shortly after that, I put together a
Yahoo (nee: Onelist) list
for Gene's fans. (Note: Onelist was subsequently taken over by
"EGroups" and then EGroups was swallowed up by Yahoo).
Since that time, the
Gene
Colan Yahoo Group has had innumerable discussions about
Gene, his work, Gene's fans, comics & life in general! The Colanuts
(thanks, Blair!) are a great group of people, and Gene & Adrienne
often drop into the discussions to give their point of views,
answer questions, or just say "hi". The Yahoo Gang
has also been helping put together an incredible searchable
bibliography and additional galleries. You can join the group and interact in one of three
ways: 1) Receive emails as they come to the list; 2) Receive a
daily digest of all that day's emails; or 3) receive no email
& just check in at the onelist site from time to time to see what
folks have been discussing.
There are also file
areas and sets of links available at the onelist site which the
members use to share images & links. Give it a try!! We'd love
for you to join in!
