A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

D. J. Arneson was a writer and editor for Dell Comics from 1962 to 1973. He wrote Dracula, Werewolf, and Frankenstein, which at that point were superhero comics. He wrote Dark Shadows for Gold Key. He is particularly well-known for creating the character of "Lobo", a western comic featuring a black gunslinger hero. The first comic book headlined by a black character (1965), ''Lobo'' was well ahead of its time, and was cancelled after two issues. After his time at Dell, Arneson turned to writing books, especially juvenile books, publishing more than 100 titles. Many of these books featured ghosts, monsters, haunted houses, aliens, and the supernatural.

Joe Certa was born in 1919, educated through the Art Students League, and entered the field in 1946 through Funnies Inc. As part of the comic strip packaging service, Certa's first published work was on titles for Lev Gleason. In 1955, Joe Certa began his thirteen year run on DC's Manhunter from Mars, co-creating John Jones/J'onn J'onzz and his entire supporting cast, including Zook, Diane Meade, and Captain Harding. With the exception of Professor Hugo, Certa co-created every noteworthy Martian Manhunter villain of the Silver Age, including Mr. V, Marco Xavier, Vulture and the Diabolu Idol-Head.
The lion's share of Certa's art in the 1960s was produced for Western Publishing, for whom he worked exclusively after the Manhunter from Mars ended in 1968. Most of Certa's assignments were in horror titles and licensed properties like Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery, Dark Shadows, The Twilight Zone and Ripley's Believe It or Not!
Joe Certa retired in 1979 after thirty-three years in the industry, and passed away in 1986.
