Latest Comic Guest Announcement - José Delbo

 

Attending: Saturday & Sunday

 

Artist: Transformers; Wonder Woman
ALTHOUGH he began drawing for the American market in 1964, José Delbo's comics career stretches back to 1949, when – at the age of 16 – he began working on titles in his native Argentina.
Starting out in the US at Dell, where his first story was for The Beverley Hillbillies#5, he contributed to licenced titles as varied as The Twilight Zone, Get Smart, The Monkees and Gentle Ben. His first regular assignment was Billy the Kid for Charlton while he made his superhero debut on Gold Key's Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom #27 in 1969.
That was the same year he began working for DC, eventually becoming regular artist on Wonder Woman, which he pencilled almost continuously from 1976 to 1981. In 1980 he added Detective Comics to his workload, remaining on that Bat-series for two years during which time the prolific artist also became a frequent contributor to Superman Family.
Delbo's first regular assignment for Marvel was a short 1987 run on Thundercats for Star Comics, the House of Ideas' kiddie imprint. From there he moved to Transformers, the comic with which he is most closely associated. He drew 31 stories of the Robots in Disguise between 1986 and 1990, moving on to co-create 1990's four-issue Brute Force and then illustrate NFL SuperPro [1991].
He retired at the end of the decade, his art during the '90s appearing in titles from Defiant, Tekno Comix and Valiant as well as Marvel.
