Eli Katz (April 6, 1926 – January 31, 2000) who worked under the name Gil Kane and in one instance Scott Edward, was a comic book artist whose career spanned the 1940s to 1990s and every major comics company and character.
Kane co-created the modern-day versions of the superheroes Green Lantern and the Atom for DC Comics, and co-created Iron Fist with Roy Thomas for Marvel Comics. He was involved in such major storylines as that of The Amazing Spider-Man #96–98 (May–July 1971), which, at the behest of the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, bucked the then-prevalent Comics Code Authority to depict drug abuse, and ultimately spurred an update of the Code. Kane additionally pioneered an early graphic novel prototype, His Name is...Savage, in 1968, and a seminal graphic novel, Blackmark, in 1971.
In 1997, he was inducted into both the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame and the Harvey Award Jack Kirby Hall of Fame.
Gil Kane was born Eli Katz on April 6, 1926, in Latvia. Kane was born to a Jewish family that emigrated to the U.S. in 1929, settling in Brooklyn, New York City. His father was a struggling poultry merchant.

"Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
She lives in a luxury apartment in the heart of town
I live in the country and my house is tumbling down
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
I met her in her neighbourhood, I was just passing through
One look was all it took, yeah, one look or two
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love
You got my name, you got my number
You got my number, you got my name
Now I'm gonna settle down, get myself a wife or two
No more of this running around like I used to do
Call me if you need my love, baby
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love, baby
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love, baby
Call me if you need my love
Call me if you need my love, baby
