	Gil Kane Obituary - MISFITS - Chris Jones (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Gil Kane's art in the 60's showed unequalled power and grace, and in an era of Kirby-like blockiness, Kane's figures rippled with dynamic and realistic anatomy.
		Kane's dynamic, unique style proved as popular as ever, even as many Silver Age contemporaries were having a hard time finding an audience and work as a new generation of comics artists began to dominate the scene.
		Kane and Grant were also working on a hardcover Superman graphic novel that was unfinished at the time of Kane's passing.

	Fanzing 25 - Feb/Mar 2000 - Gil Kane: In Memorium
		Kane's work on the covers of the "western" comics of the Marvel line, during this period, was particularly fine and evocative stuff; full of "worm's-eye" POVs and tilted, slightly askew backgrounds.
		Gil Kane applied a restless and painstaking analysis to these, and half a hundred others, in turn; and seamlessly wedded the best of their numerous storytelling "tricks" to his own ever-burgeoning bag of same.
		All of this, mind, was accompanied by a sly, wicked sense of humor with which the inexhaustible Mister Kane suitably leavened even the direst of storytelling proceedings; with the end result being as idiosyncratically cheery and accessible as it was eye-catching and engaging.

	Talent Pool 05 - Gil Kane (Feb 1999) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Gil Kane describes the first 25 years or so of his career with some degree of self-deprecation, the sort of criticism one might expect from a relentless perfectionist hoping to outrun his shortcomings.
		Kane's work here demonstrates an energy lacking from his peers in other titles; Murphy Anderson, Curt Swan, Carmine Infantino, Ross Andru, and lesser names doing DC art all, between them, failed to match this grade of four-color mayhem, regardless of their recognizeable ability as artists and newsprint cinematographers.
		Kane's dynamism does not owe, in a recognizeable form, to the sixties Kirby style; Gil Kane invented his own means of making action jump from panel to panel and from the page well into the faces of his readers.

	TwoMorrows Publishing - Alter Ego #4 - Remembering Gil
		Gil tended either to leave his work fairly "open," without many dark areas, or else to throw in large blocks of solid fl which had relatively little to do with shadows or sources of light, but which were more of a design element.
		Gil's favorite of our five CM issues was #19, which unlike the others was entirely his idea-the "rat's-maze" issue, in which one of the key characters was revealed to be a survivor of Nazi death camps, complete to a number tattooed on his wrist.
		Gil and I, who often had to come up with a half dozen or more covers during one afternoon's conference when he came into the city from Connecticut, sometimes settled a bit too readily on concepts which were interchangeable from title to title.

	Comic creator: Bob Kane
		Bob Kane was the original artist of the 'Batman' comic, which was an immediate hit and has been in continuous publication since 1940, with new stories almost every month.
		Kane and his team also created all kinds of colorful and bizarre criminals such as 'The Joker', 'Catwoman', 'Two Face', 'The Penguin' and 'The Riddler'.
		Kane would illustrate 'Batman' until the mid 1940s, and although his name appeared on the strip until 1964, the work was done mostly by other artists, initially Robinson, and later also Stan Kaye, Sheldon Moldoff, Dick Sprang, Jack Burnley, and Carmine Infantino.

	Sequential Tart: Memories of Gil Kane (vol III/iss 3/March 2000)
		Kane liked to keep busy and, at a time when most artists had retired for one reason or another, he was still drawing comics whenever he had the chance.
		Gil’s work was always beautiful, but it really took off in the 60s, when he began regularly inking his own work in his raw, energetic inking style.
		Kane was nothing but a gentlemen during the short time that we had to converse, but he left me with many an insightful tip by which I try to improve my work everyday.

		Gil was one of those versatile artists whose career was not particularly disturbed by the comic witch-hunt of the period and the subsequent forming of the Comics Code Authority in 1954.
		Gil was now the lead artist on two super hero comic titles, and still he drew sci-fi and fantasy stories for DC.
		He produced work of such high quality at this time that it was obvious that Gil had become one of the masters of the comic field, and many began to emulate his stylized interpretation of the comic medium.

		Kane at this time was popular among comic-book fans for his dynamic renditions of The Atom and Green Lantern.
		In retrospect, both Kane and Podhoretz were ahead of their time and suffered the cruel fate of pioneers.
		In his last years, Kane lived to see a revival of interest in his work, as his early superhero work was reprinted by DC comics, an artistic resurrection that continues to this day.

	Comic Art & Graffix Gallery Artist Interviews - Gil Kane
		KANE: I started during the forties when I was a teenager, and was in the, I would say, the last half of the Golden Age and went into the Army in 1944 and when I came out, when the war was over, the field was winding up.
		KANE: Uh, well, Carmine (Infantino) and Joe Kubert were doing The Flash for Showcase and they decided they had so much success with The Flash that they would try a second character.
		KANE: No. First because I longed to ink my own pencils, which they wouldn't let me do, and, the only time they would let me ink pencils is when I did westerns.

	(ADD Review)
		Gil Kane was probably one of the first comic book artists whose style I recognized as unique when I was a kid.
		Kane's talent was best served when he inked himself, as he usually did in the latter part of his career.
		When Kane took over, I was thrilled at the news, but Bulanadi's heavy-handed inking was wholly inappropriate to the task at hand, and Kane reportedly preferred his own inking in most cases anyway.

		In November 1999, I was very fortunate to be able to arrange for a commission from Gil Kane (thanks to Frank Giella for arranging it).
		In spite of the fact that his health was very poor (the pencil lines are even a little bit shaky in places), Gil did a nice job as usual, creating a dramatic pencil image.
		Sadly, Gil passed away shortly after I received the art, and this is possibly one of the last pieces that he ever worked on.
