Tom Palmer (comics)
Thomas John Palmer (July 13, 1941 – August 18, 2022) was an American comic book artist best known as an inker for Marvel Comics. Biography Although Tom Palmer created a small amount of penciling work (as well as some cover art and some coloring), the vast majority of his artistic output since the 1960s was as a comic book inker. Reminiscing about how he came to be an inker, Palmer recounted: Palmer's extensive work for Marvel Comics includes runs paired with pencilers Neal Adams on '' The Avengers'' and ''Uncanny X-Men''; Gene Colan, on titles such as ''Doctor Strange'', '' Daredevil'', and ''Tomb of Dracula''; and John Buscema, on ''The Avengers''. He also inked the entire run of John Byrne's '' X-Men: The Hidden Years''. Palmer is widely considered the definitive inker for Gene Colan, whose use of grey textures made his pencils notoriously difficult to ink in a way that did them justice. Colan has stated publishers never answered his requests to be paired with a speci ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
