Dan Green, longtime Marvel comic book artist, best known for his long run on Uncanny X-Men with John Romita Jr. and Marc Silvestri, has passed away following a long illness.Green broke into comics at DC in the early 1970s, penciling back-up stories in Tarzan #213-215. He worked on a series of backups for DC throughout 1972-73. Green was initially a penciler, but as Green noted in a 2004 interview, “I’ve always been a slow penciler, which is why I started taking work as an inker/finisher.” The legendary artist, Jim Starlin, has been writing and penciling Captain Marvel for Marvel, and the company kept giving him different inkers on the book (this ultimately led to Starlin quitting the book), and Green made his Marvel debut as one of Starlin’s inkers on Captain Marvel #28 and then #31-32.A big break for Green as an inker occurred in 1977 when he took over as the regular inker on Iron Fist with #14 (the introduction of the villain known as Sabretooth), working with penciler John Byrne. He finished that run with Byrne, and then moved with Byrne to Power Man, when Iron Fist joined that book as it became Power Man and Iron Fist. Green then worked with penciler Herb Trimpe on Godzilla at the end of that series’ run at Marvel in 1979. At the same time, Green then joined the Avengers working with Byrne again.
