The Four Color Media Monitor
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.

About Me
- Name: Avi Green
- Location: Jerusalem, Israel
I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.

A truly awesome artist.
H will be greatly missed.
I especially remember his Wonder Woman and Daredevil stints. Good stuff, good artist.
He also did an issue in Archie's Ninja Turtles Adventures, which I still remember fondly.
I was just reading some Essential Daredevil with Colan art. One of the greats.
Comic art looks all the same to me these days, I miss the old guys that had their own style that you could pick out without seeing the name. Everyone's a Jim Lee clone now.
Agreed, degu -- those DD Essentials with his art are killer. And don't forget those Tales of Suspense (Iron Man) issues he did, along with the iconic Iron Man #1 cover!!
I'll always remember his work on TOMB OF DRACULA. Probably the most amazing artwork I've ever seen in comics.
