An increasing number of fans complained to me that I didn't have articles or interviews about Gene listed in the Gene Colan Bibliography. Since we always listen to the fans here at Gene Colan Central, we've started working up a list of interviews from over the years. I've been so busy lately that fellow Colanut Denis Kirk has most graciously offered to help track some of these down. A huge & hearty thanks to Denis for his hard work on this page. Please email Denis or me if you have any other interviews you know about!!

They also talk about some of Gene's past projects and influences, and some current and upcoming projects.

Jan 1997 Bruce Costa (Dark Horse)
Gene Colan and writer/artist Mark Schultz talk about working together on Predator: Hell and Hot Water, how they both got involved in the project, their respect for each other, and working on Twentieth Century Fox's high-profile licensed character - Predator.

Jul 1998 Kevin Hall (The Daredevil Resource)
Kevin and Gene discuss his wife's effect on his work, the different types of pencilling Gene's done, his work with Stan Lee, what makes Gene's style unique, his long running work in Daredevil and Tomb of Dracula, and the directions comics are taking today and in the future.

Spring 1999 Comic Book Profiles No.6
With contributions by Dan Brereton, Adrienne Colan, Peter David, Mark Evanier, Steve Gerber, Fred Hembeck, Phil Hester, Kelly Jones, Stan Lee, Don McGregoir, Clifford Meth, Tom Palmer, Mike Pascale, and Marv Wolfman.
Colleagues and friends pay tribute to Gene Colan's work throughout the years, from his work on such characters as Daredevil, Dracula, Iron Man, Dr.Strange, Sub-Mariner, and many others.
"He could do romance, horror, superheroes, whatever it was he could do it and he did it with great style." - Stan Lee
"There's no comics artist I can think of offhand who draws human facial expressions as well as Gene and very few who are as good as Gene at setting a mood." - Steve Gerber
"If I was to say one thing about Gene Colan's work, it's atmosphere and rhythm, because the lines are so musical. They flow into one another, and you can hear the snap of Dracula's cape. You can hear Daredevil whizzing by you -- it's terrific. Not too many artists are capable of that." - Kelly Jones

August 2000 Will Allred (Comic Book Resource)
Gene talks about his early days entering the comics field, from Fiction House to his later work at Dark Horse, and his favourite inkers and writers.
