Born in 1927, veteran artist Jack Abel got his start during the early "Atom Age" of comics on such titles as Captain Video, Lash LaRue, and Blue Beetle. Though known primarily as one of the most prolific inkers of all time, he wielded a pencil as deftly as a brush, and produced many handsome full-illustration jobs for DC's line of war books during the late 1950's and into the 1960's. Over the subsequent decades, Abel contributed to a wide variety of titles from DC and other publishers, including Charlton, Western I.W. Publications, and Marvel Comics. He spent his last years as a staff proof-reader for Marvel before succumbing to heart failure in 1996.
