Whenever I think of Dan DeCarlo, I can't help but remember what, in retrospect, was a rather maddening moment. Not at the time it happened, but looking back years later.
I was at a NYC comics convention (the last one I may have gone to), and across the room, I saw one of my favorite artists, Gene Colan. I'd met him twice before, so it was a charge to see him again. He was sitting at the ARCHIE table. I made a joke about how people might think he worked for them, and his wife smiled and said, "HE DOES!" She handed me a copy of the latest issue of LIFE WITH ARCHIE. Sure enough, although the art was done in the Archie style (what i later realized was the Dan DeCarlo style), there was no mistaking from the layouts it was Gene's work. I bought it. I think he may have signed it for me.
Here's the maddening part. Gene & his wife Adrienne were sitting RIGHT NEXT to Dan DeCarlo & his wife Josie. And somehow, at the time, I had NO IDEA who they were. OY!!!!!
