Gil Kane inked by Klaus Janson was some of the most awesome comic art ever done

Do you think Kane is recognized more as a Marvel artist or as part of DC? Which major characters do you most associate with him?

Which minor characters, if any?

I believe Kane is best known for his work with DC comics

This seems like an odd thing to say but Gil Kane drew the best hands ever. I can instantly recognize his art by looking at the hands.

Green Lantern (Hal) and the Atom (Ray) are "his" as far as I'm concerned.

If that is all he's known for that would be quite a bit more than enough In my mind.

I had a similar experience with the work of Steve Ditko. It might have been because I "met" Spider-Man through the art of Ron Frenz, then read some of Romita Sr.'s stories, so seeing Ditko's Spider-Man was so different that it threw me for a jolt. As a kid, I just didn't "get it."

Now, having become interested in comics again after 10 years away, Ditko suddenly makes perfect sense. He is a genius! His style was perfect for the stories he was telling, and I can't get enough of his work now, especially his Dr. Strange stuff!

Gil Kane Green Lantern-pure heaven. Nuff said! And I agree with JB- Romita over Kane was amazing (no pun intended!) I also loved Sid Green inking him on GL as well.

I thought I heard there definitely was a second volume on the way. I've been dying to read the Moon Knight two-parter for years...
