Later life and career

Colan did some of the insert artwork on Hellbilly Deluxe (released August 1998), the first solo album of Rob Zombie, credited as Gene "The Mean Machine" Colan.[19]

In the 2000s, Colan returned to vampires by drawing a pair of stories for Dark Horse Comics' Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.

Colan and his second wife,[20] Adrienne, moved from New York City to Vermont late in life.[citation needed] At various points he has taught at Manhattan's School of Visual Arts and Fashion Institute of Technology, and had showings at the Bess Cutler Gallery in New York City and at the Elm Street Arts Gallery in Manchester, Vermont.[citation needed]

He penciled the final pages of Blade vol. 3, #12 (Oct. 2007), the final issue of that series, drawing a flashback scene in which the character dresses in his original outfit from the 1970s series The Tomb of Dracula. That same month, for the anniversary issue Daredevil vol. 2, #100 (Oct. 2007), Colan penciled pages 18–20 of the 36-page story "Without Fear, Part One"; the issue additionally reprinted the Colan-drawn Daredevil #90-91 (Aug.-Sept. 1972).

On May 11, 2008, Colan's family announced that Colan, who had been hospitalized for liver failure, had suffered a sharp deterioration in his health.[21] By December, he had sufficiently recovered to travel to an in-store signing in California.[22] He has continued to produce original comics work as late as 2009, drawing the lead feature in Captain America #601 (Sept. 2009). Subsequently, he won an Eisner Award for Best Single Issue (together with writer Ed Brubaker) for his work on that issue.[23]

Colan's estranged wife Adrienne was found dead in their family home on June 21, 2010.[24] The previous December, the 67-year-old Adrienne briefly stayed at a mental health facility in New York after an alleged self-harming incident.[25] The couple's children, Eric and Nanci, then became involved in Colan's business affairs, taking it over fully in March.[25] On March 31, Adrienne physically assaulted Colan, leaving him with a separated shoulder that resulted in hospitalization.[25] Colan had an order of protection served against her, and remained in the hospital. Adrienne pleaded guilty to the assault in mid-May.[25]
