COMIC BOOK WORK
I joined the staff of Marvel Comics in the summer of 1972. I learned my craft on the job
from such people as Frank Giacoia, Mike Esposito, John Romita, Marie Severin, Stan Lee,
and others. I did a great deal of background inking, coloring, lettering, and penciling at
first, but after several years of assisting Joe Sinnott I decided to concentrate on
inking. I was fortunate to work on all the major characters at that time including the
'Amazing Spiderman.' In the mid-seventies I moved over to DC Comics where, after doing
many 'Legion of Superheros' and 'Wonder Woman' books I concentrated on the Superman books
with Julie Schwartz as editor. I inked most of the work of the great Curt Swan and Kurt
Schaffenberger at that time. For the next decade I moved back and forth between the two
companies as well as several others such as Tekno, as opportunities arose. In the early
nineties I decided to specialize in comics for younger readers. I continue to do work for
Disney and DC. I'm currently working on 'Scooby Doo.'
