Gil Kane (born 1926-2000) is a master of structures. Drawing, design, layout, anatomy; whatever Gil applies himself to is built on a solid foundation of thought and study. Where artists such as Neal Adams and Reed Crandall lavish attention on surfaces, Gil is obsessed by what's underneath. His drawing of the figure in action takes a back seat to none, including master anatomist Burne Hogarth. His combination of art and storytelling worked in a wide variety of genres and styles, including: westerns, sword and sorcery, suspense and of course superheroes. After sixty years in the business, Gil's work is still as vibrant and valid as it was when he began.
