Dan Spiegle is one of the most respected-and hardest working-comic
artists of the last sixty years, with a career spanning the Golden Age
of comics through the Modern era. From his beginnings on the Hopalong
Cassidy newspaper strip, to his thirty-year tenure on Dell and Gold
Key's licensed TV and Movie adaptions (Lost in Space, Korak, Magnus
Robot Fighter, Mighty Sampson, Buck Rogers), Dan's work is admired by
fans and professionals alike. During the 1980s, he worked at DC Comics
on Batman, Unknown Soldier, Tomahawk, Jonah Hex, Teen Titans, and the
fan-favorite reboot of Blackhawk (taking the character back to its World
War II roots), as well as his popular Crossfire series for Eclipse
Comics, Dark Horse's Indiana Jones series, and more. In this book,
author John Coates documents Dan's entire life in comics, through
interviews filled with insight into the comic industry, colorful
anecdotes of meeting celebrities, plus an examination of Dan's artistic
process from script to finished drawing, as well as personal reflections
by Dan's family on growing up with a father in comics. It includes
dozens of images of Dan's work, along with personal photos of family and
industry peers, and numerous private commission drawings. If you've
read comics between the mid-1950s through the 2000s, you've probably
enjoyed a comic with Dan's art-now learn about his life in comic art.
Includes a Foreword by longtime collaborator Mark Evanier and an
Afterword by Sergio Aragones.
