I've always enjoyed the clean lines of masterful Jack Abel, primarily known for his inking & art assists. Jack, aka Gary Michaels, has worked for a number of publishers, DC, Marvel, Charlton, Gold Key, Atlas Red Circle & Skywald. And here I always thought Gary Michaels was the alias!
At DC, Abel worked on Kamandi, Adventure Comics (Legion of Super-Heroes, Wonder Woman), Mister Miracle, Star Spangled War Stories & Sea Devils.
With Marvel, Jack provided artwork for Master of Kung-Fu (with Paul Gulacy & Gene Day), Tales of Suspense (Iron Man with Gene Colan), Marvel Tales, Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. (with Steranko!), Savage She-Hulk, Incredible Hulk (with Herb Trimpe) & Doc Savage.
Jack Abel inked Herb Trimpe on the famous Incredible Hulk#180 & #181 (introducing Wolverine to the world!)
At Charlton, Abel worked on Attack, Fightin' Marines, Fightin' Navy, Ghost Manor & Ghostly Haunts.
With Gold Key, Jack drew Mighty Samson, Twilight Zone, Questar (Who Goes There? the basis for John Carpenter's The Thing movie) & Boris Karloff.
At Atlas, Abel provided artwork on Morlock 2001 & Western Action.
With Red Circle, Jack drew on Red Circle Sorcery.
At Skywald, Abel provided artwork for Nightmare (who didn't work on Nightmare?)
Jack Abel was, like Vince Colletta, a great artist and provided a great portfolio of work.
Live Large!
Thank You!
