I hope karma comes back and bites this cockroach big time.

I also hope Gene makes a full and speedy recovery.

That's terrible.
I'd love to find the pathetic worm who did this and beat their sorry ass!

I hope Gene recovers soon. I also hope the scumbag responsible get caught and brought to justice.

Lotta @sshats out there... I'm just glad Gene wasn't severely hurt.

Hopefully these turn up, as does the thief.

Damn, I was looking forward to seeing Gene this weekend, but this sounds like he might not be up for the trip.

Get well, Gene!

Update: Gene has been released from the hospital and is doing fine. I just got off the phone with Dark Horse editor and close friend to Gene, Shawna Gore and she has assured me that the subtext in Meth's original post was to be as vague as possible, but to report it as a mugging is inaccurate. The police ARE still involved about the missing art, and any information to the situation is still helpful to Gene and his family.

Just to add to Landroid's correction, here's a post from a member of the Gene Colan Yahoo group:

"From the Timely-Atlas Group:

<<Gents and ladies: Gene Colan was NOT mugged!
Posted by: "Phil Latter" chromium_foil@... chromium_foil
Date: Sat Apr 10, 2010 8:16 pm ((PDT))

Folks,

I am a member of the official Gene Colan web group at yahoogroups.com

From Gene Colan's own daughter, and son, as well as from Clifford Meth, Gene
Colan's close friend, Gene Colan was definately NOT mugged. He took a fall in
his home, and seriously injured his shoulder.

Unrelated, while he was in the hospital, someone stole original Gene Colan
artwork from his home.

Gene Colan is currently under the care of his daughter and son, and is on the
mend.

The urban myth that Gene Colan was mugged is all over the net, and it is
patently false.

The other poster here is correct: someone else has incorrectly morphed two
stories together,
added 2 + 2 together.....and come up with 6-!

Please spread the word: Gene Colan was not mugged.

The stolen art from his home was one page of Star Wars art, and several pages
from one or both DC Comics, Inc. previously published detective type NATHANIEL
DUSK comics mini series, which, in my opinion, are some of the best Gene Colan
comic books ever published!

<snip>

Best Wishes to all,

Phil Latter
