GOODBYE, ERNIE COLON...

Harvey Comics wouldn't have been as special without your participation. Casper and Richie Rich lived through and because of you.

You also invested your talent into the Warren favorites, Eerie, Creepy and Vampirella; and in the capacity of editor, oversaw such DC titans as Wonder Woman, the Green Lantern and the Flash, while bestowing ongoing style to Marvel's adaptation of "Battlestar Galactica".

Among these accomplishments, you took time to visit such characters and super teams as Airboy; John Carter; the Grim Ghost; Doctor Solar; Damage Control; Mangus, Robot Fighter; Man of the Atom; Bullwinkle and Rocky; Thundercats; Monster in My Pocket; and the gallant Ultraman. In addition, you helped create Arak, Son of Thunder and Amethyst, Princess of Gem World: powerful entities who forged vibrant legacies.  

You left a stupendous mark on the comic realm, Mr. Colon, and mighty big shoes to fill. We'll always be appreciative of the wonders you gave us and will think of you with immense gratitude whenever we revisit your protean artistry.
