Gil Kane
Gil Kane (born Eli Katz, April 6, 1926 – January 31, 2000) was a Latvian-born American comics artist whose career spanned the 1940s to the 1990s and virtually every major comics company and character.
Kane co-created the modern-day versions of Green Lantern and the Atom for DC Comics, and co-created Iron Fist with Roy Thomas for Marvel Comics. He was involved in such major storylines as that of The Amazing Spider-Man #96–98, which bucked the then-prevalent Comics Code Authority to depict drug abuse, and ultimately spurred an update of the Code. Kane additionally pioneered an early graphic novel prototype, His Name is... Savage, in 1968, and a seminal graphic novel, Blackmark, in 1971. For a period of time in the 70's, He drew almost every important cover title that Marvel Comics published.
In 1997, he was inducted into both the Will Eisner Hall of Fame and the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame.
