Jack Abel (July 15, 1927 – March 6, 1996)[1] [2] American comic book artist best known as an inker for leading publishers DC Comics and Marvel Comics . He was DC's primary inker on the Superman titles in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and inked penciler Herb Trimpe 's introduction of the popular superhero Wolverine in The Incredible Hulk pseudonym Gary Michaels .
Biography [ edit ]
Early life and career [ edit ]
Abel's published work stretches to 1951, when he penciled and inked horror stories for such anthology series as Mr. Publications' (Mike Esposito and Ross Andru 's company)[3] Mister Mystery , and Atlas Comics '—the 1950s forerunner of Marvel Comics —Journey into Unknown Worlds Western tales in Prize Comics ' aptly title Prize Comics Western . He inked science fiction , romance and war comics for Atlas, American Comics Group , Avon Comics , Harvey Comics , and Hillman Periodicals , and later in the decade became a prolific penciler for the DC war titles Our Fighting Forces Our Army at War Star Spangled War Stories All-American Men of War [4]
DC and Superman [ edit ]
Abel inked hundreds of DC stories, and eventually was chosen to succeed longtime "Superman family" inker George Klein as Curt Swan 's embellisher on "Legion of Super-Heroes " in Adventure Comics Superman Action Comics Superboy [4]
Later career [ edit ]
After a reshuffling at DC c. 1970, Abel went to Marvel. He had already inked Gene Colan there on a long stretch of Iron Man stories beginning with Tales of Suspense [4] [5] Iron Man with me. He had a very slick line, which was okay on Iron Man , of course. Iron Man was made of iron, so you want it to look like metal. But when it came to stone and dark corners and garbage [laughs], he wasn't the man for that".[6]
Later, under his own name, he would embellish Colan on some issues of Daredevil The Tomb of Dracula Blade , in #10); Trimpe on The Incredible Hulk George Tuska on Iron Man Paul Gulacy on Master of Kung Fu Teen Titans The Flash Gold Key Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery , Grimm's Ghost Stories , Mighty Samson , the licensed title The Twilight Zone Charlton Comics (Ghost Manor , Ghostly Haunts , Haunted , Midnight Tales ); Atlas/Seaboard (IronJaw , Morlock 2001 ); and Skywald Publications (The Heap Nightmare and Psycho ).[4]
Baseball-fan Abel, who in the 1970s rented studio space at Neal Adams and Dick Giordano 's Continuity Associates ,[7] softball team that played league games in Central Park .[8]
After suffering a serious stroke in 1981, Abel rehabilitated his paralyzed right hand to the extent that he was able to ink and draw again[9]
Comic strips [ edit ]
Outside comic books, Abel inked John Celardo from 1967–1969 on the syndicated comic strip Tales of the Green Beret , written by author Robin Moore .[10]
In 2016, Abel was nominated and tied for runner-up for the Inkwell Awards Special Recognition Award.[11]
