The Artist here is Tony Mortellaro { signed) The work is excellent, but he did most of his work for Timely/Atlas so CB+ has very little of it. He also seems to have spent more time inking others than pencilling, which seems a shame looking at how good this work is. The only brief info on him, which I found on 3 sites seems to come from an Atlas/Timely database. Bio. https://comicvine.gamespot.com/tony-mortellaro/4040-11476/ Art on this title varies. #2 and #3 are signed Andru and Esposito - and I'm not sure they were not involved in issue one. And # 4 is signed 'Walther T Johnson Studios' Go figure! Some Work by Mortellarro

You probably know this, but Tony Mortellaro did tons of backgrounds for John Romita Sr when he was on Daredevil. He was always sneaking a credit into his backgrounds, usually part of a sign on a building reading "BACK--- / MORT---" Obviously JR was cool with this. I found it funny.
