DC Only artist
« on: June 26, 2012, 12:08:12 AM »
Hey

I was thinking that Bronze Age artist Herb Trimpe (The Hulk) worked for Marvel Comics, but, to the best of my knowledge, never worked for DC.

Can you think of any artists, mainly Bronze Age/living, who worked for DC, but never Marvel? Nick Cardy and Kubert?

Cardy did some covers for Marvel's magazine line.  I think Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez did one pin-up for Marvel only.

Not sure when you consider the Bronze Age starting, but I doubt Shelly Mayer ever worked for Marvel.

Joe Kubert did a fair bit for Marvel, I think.  Mostly inking his sons, but there were some TOR issues from Marvel as well.

I think Murphy Anderson didn't work for Marvel during his time at it.

I guess I'm thinking from the Marvel-only perspective and could only come up with Frank Brunner.  For DC I was thinking Curt Swan, as he never did work for Marvel during a long career, but started before the BA.

Frank Brunner did one cover for DC, for Super-Team Family.

I figured Curt Swan, maybe Jim Aparo.

Just checked Comics.Org for "Marvel" and "Jim Aparo" and it spit out this:
http://www.comics.org/issue/815734/

["Seventy years ago this month..."](Table of Contents) Captain America / illustration / 2 pages (report information)

Script:
?
Pencils:
Jim Aparo (signed); Curt Swan (signed)
Letters:
typeset

Indexer Notes
Aparo's sketch is dated: '99.
Swan's sketch is dated: 3 '94.

I must have this.

Artist that worked for DC and not Marvel. Pretty sure that Mike Kaluta only worked for DC.  Bernie  Wrightson, DC only, or did he do some horror for Marvel in the seventies?

Bob Kane, DC only.

I don't know if it counts as Marvel work, but I know that Murphy Anderson did the treasury-size Superman/Fantastic Four team up.

I've seen several Wrightson Marvel covers, but no idea if he did interiors. He did the Incredible Hulk 197 cover that includes Man-Thing.

And Wrightson did a Spiderman graphic novel in the last 80s IIRC.  I forget which number.
