Revision as of 23:07, 2 March 2011

This is a page for storing supplementary information about various people involved in comics. In particular, facts (with sources when possible) that might be relevant to folks researching credits to add to or correct in the GCD. This is also a good place to list corrections to Who's Who, since that site is no longer updated.

A

A. Machine

According to Gene Reed and Ramon Schenk, lettering credited to "A. Machine" in Charlton comics was produced using a modified typewriter that would accept original art in the carriage, mostly by Dick Giordano's wife but also by many other creators (and perhaps their wives). The lettering was typed onto the art, which explains why it doesn't always fit the word balloons as neatly as hand-lettering.

B

Bea, Josep Maria

Used to be credited as "Jose Bea" before late 1970s."Josep" is the Catalan name for the Spanish "José" and was forbidden during Franco's dictatorship (1939-1975).He has always used "Josep" since then.

C

Castle, Herb

Costanza, John

Jim Van Dore notes Costanza's use of a reversed "13" as a page number when lettering in this thread.

D

de la Rosa, Sam

Capitalizes and spaces his name as Sam de la Rosa (per contact through the GCD Error Tracker).

F

Fonteriz, Rafa

Full legal name is "José Rafael Fonteriz". Most of his work is credited as "Rafa Fonteriz", but some others (like http://comics.org/series.lasso?SeriesID=5290) were credited as "Joe Fonteriz"


Filchock, Martin

  • Wrote most of his stories. Per interview, source forgotten.
  • Did not work on Centaur's Phantom Rider, nor did he work with Jack Cole (listed as writer on a Phantom Rider story attributed to Filchock). As told directly to Jim Amash on the Timely-Atlas list.

G

Gustavson, Paul

  • Wrote only humor features, provided art only for all other sorts of features. Per Craig Delich from interviews conducted by Jerry Bails.

García López, José Luis

In American comics he often signs his work without accents (as they are not used in English) and sometimes merges both surnames (García and López) using a hyphen (Garcia-Lopez). He is not to be confused with Luis Garcia, who worked for the Warren magazines (as confirmed by Kevin Nowlan).

I

Infantino, Carmine

  • Laid out the majority of DC's covers from 1968-1976. Per Steven Rowe, although this has come up in various interviews so we should be able to make this more specific and document a better source.

J

Johnson, Dave

  • Artist known mostly for his covers for 100 Bullets from DC. Not the same Dave Johnson that is known as "Crusher Dave" Johnson.

Johnson, "Crusher" Dave

  • Artist known mostly for his work on Comico's Robotech. He usually signs his work as "Crusher Dave". Not the same Dave Johnson as the one currently working in comics.


K

Kastle, Herbert D.

M

Millar, Mark

  • Writer whose most famous work is the Top Cow book Wanted, which was later made into a movie.

Miller, Mark S.

  • Writer and artist who did a lot of work with Malibu Comics and later founder of Alias Comics. Mark signed "Mark Miller" until the other Mark Millar started appearing, at which time he started signing "Mark S. Miller"

O

Oda, Ben

P

Poole, Gary T.

Powell, Bob

  • Did not use the pen name S. T. Anley (contrary to Who's Who and Lambiek). Likewise did not have anything to do with Timely's feature The Witness in Mystic Comics. Per Dr. Michael J. Vassallo on the Timely-Atlas list.
