The entrance of GIL KANE (1926-2000) into the comic book field was interrupted by World War II, but upon his return the young artist swiftly rose to become one of the key stylists of his generation. At DC, Kane ushered in super heroes’ Silver Age on Green Lantern and The Atom, while at Marvel he held influential tenures on The Amazing Spider-Man, Captain Marvel and Warlock.
