It’s always fun when the folks out there in the great wide world mistake Little Me or my work for someone or something else (well, OK, not always super-fun,) but here’s the latest.
I hear that Doran guy isn’t half bad.
There’s some big comics history book out there that has me and my work listed under two different names: the little woman Colleen Doran who does that girly SF/Fantasy thing A Distant Soil, and the manly man Colin Doran who draws superhero comics, like Valor.
It amuses me.
A track from jazz musician Wdouji’s album Zen and the Art of Dressmaking is entitled A Distant Soil. Groovy.
I may buy it just because.
Get this great, handy introductory pack with a variety of my books and a terrific documentary DVD of my work by filmmaker and cartoonist Rich Henn! Original retail prices were over $40 for the lot, but you’ll spend more than that on these long out of print items, and you’ll pay even more in shipping. FINAL DAY FRIDAY 25!

News just coming in that Dwayne McDuffie, who was my boss on the Technique miniseries at Milestone, has passed away due to complications from surgery.
Denys Cowan, me, Dwayne. About 1994.
Dwayne was incredibly cool to me at Milestone. Nothing about the demise of the series was Milestone’s fault in any way. I was not only treated with respect and kindness at every turn, but the publisher paid me a very fair kill fee. I really liked the people at Milestone, and Dwayne sent me a wonderful letter about my work on the project, which I treasure.
I scanned and sold the remainder of the unpublished art recently, and had meant to post an article about it. I think I will put that off for now.
Dwayne had the respect and admiration of everyone who knew him. Shocking and terrible news. A loss for everyone in comics.
We will miss you, Dwayne.
