I'm a Marvel Zombie from the 70s and I still consider Kane very much a DC Guy.
The Atom and Green Lantern are definitely all his, but he's one of my favorite Spider-Man artists as well. And you have to love his work on Captain Marvel, Adam Warlock and John Carter, Warlord of Mars.

Yeah, it's nearly impossible to find the John Carter stuff now..I think I only have 3 or 4 issues.

Gil Kane is one of my all time favorites. No self-respecting Green Lantern fan would feel any different.

I had the pleasure to attend a panel that featured Gil Kane as a speker
sometime in the late 90's at Orlando Megacon. Not only is Gil an amzing
artist but he was also a charming man. Warm, witty, gracious, kind, and
very knowledgeable in all aspects of his profession and life. I feel very
fortunate i was able to hear him speak and even get to small talk with him
for awhile after the panel. Gil is of a breed we will not be seeing the likes
of any time soon. A consumate , well versed / well schooled proffessional
. GIL KANE WAS A CLASS ACT.

My first exposure to Gil Kane's work was on MARVEL TEAM UP, when I was 13 years old. I really disliked it.
Later, I saw how amazing his arts could be if inked by John Romita, Sr. Gil Kane = dynamic. John Romita = elegant. Join these 2 styles and you have some of the best artworks ever on AMAZING SPIDER-MAN.
I appreciated other works by Kane in the following years: GREEN LANTERN, ACTION COMICS in the early '80s... I'll never consider him as good as Romita, JB, Alan Davis or others... but he surely has been one of the more original and innovative comic book artists.

I didn't appreciate Kane as much as I should have as a youngster, but I certainly have grown to respect his work as an adult.

I bought the Giordano How-to book last night, and was struck by DG's anatomical similarities to GK. Not as 'blazingly' dynamic, but very, very, very good.
GK is a new dimension. Rippling with power. Sexy women are drawn to infatuate the reader. Villains caught at the height of thier insanities. heroes stopped at the most heartbreaking. The guy could direct!

Enjoyed Gil Kane's work for years. I was like some of you. Didn't care for it when I was younger but it grew on me. One of the best. My first encounter with him was What if? #3. Loved how he drew the Avengers, Hulk, and Sub-Mariner. Fantastic artist.

As with many artists, I really love Gil Kane's work best when he inked it himself. Similar to JB or George Perez. I loved the art on the Superman titles and on Sword of the Atom.
