People

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 This is also a good place to list corrections to Who's Who, since that site is no longer updated.

C

Costanza, John

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

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.

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.

Oda, Ben

• Brian Saner Lamken discusses Ben Oda's lettering style in this thread, specifically this message.

P

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.
