Title: DC only artist
Post by: Roygbiv666 on June 26, 2012, 06:08:59 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?

I believe you're right on garcia lopez.

Fradon has done some, at least according to this: http://marvel.wikia.com/Category:Ramona_Fradon/Cover_Artist

Barreto passed away this past December: http://marvel.wikia.com/Category:Ed_Barreto/Penciler

Yeah, he was only 57.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eduardo_Barreto

"Barreto eventually returned to Judge Parker, and continued working on that and occasional stories with other characters, such as Superman and Captain Action. In 2010 he was stricken with meningitis, and was forced to abandon the Judge Parker daily strip in March 2010, which was taken over by Mike Manley.Sometime later, apparently recovered from meningitis, he set to work on other projects. In April 2011 it was announced that Eduardo and his son Diego would work on Irredeemable, and in July 2011 he took over the art for The Phantom's Sunday strips. His last published work was in September 2011, the 1970s Superman DC Retroactive issue, finished from his hospital bed, and with some pages drawn by fellow Uruguayan Christian Duce. He died on December 15, 2011, due to undisclosed health issues."

And Ernie Chan last month was 71:

Kubert did a number of stories for Marvel in the 1950s in a variety of genres.  In more recent decades he has also done work for them.  I can remember seeing his work on both the Punisher and Ghost Rider as well as a mini-series of his own character Tor that was published by Marvel.

The only work I can remember seeing that Cardy did for Marvel was a painted cover for their black and white Kung-Fu comic mag in the 1970s.  He may have done more but that is the only one coming immediately to my mind.

Now did Swan or Anderson ever work for Marvel?  How about Irv Novick?  Joe Giella?

Curious

I don't think Swan did any, same as Aparo - sadly they are both gone. I'm trying to think of a DC-exclusive artist to draw some Marvel characters, but I'm not coming up with much (that I could afford). Maybe an inker ...
