- Summary:
-
"Gentleman Jim Mooney celebrates the life of comic book artist Jim Mooney. Jim Mooney saw his first comic book art published mere months after the debut of Superman in Action Comics #1. Mooney worked consistently in the comic book field from 1940 to the late-1990s and his 60-year career saw him produce art for the top Golden Age publishers, including Timey Comics (Marvel) Fox, Fiction House, Ace and Harvey. Mooney then enjoyed an amazing twenty two year stay at DC Comics, where he helped define the look for Batman, Robin and Superboy and became one of the most recognised artists for characters such as Supergirl, The Legion of Super-Heroes, Dial H-For-Hero and many more. In the late 1960s Mooney crossed over from DC to Marvel where he became closely identified with iconic characters such as Spider-Man, Ghost Rider and The Avengers, and closely worked with legendary writer Steve Gerber on Man-Thing, Omega The Unknown and Sub-Mariner and finished his career with Claypool Comics where he left his indelible mark on titles such as Elvira." --Website.
