L. B. Cole

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Leonard B. Cole is a comic book artist who worked during the industry's Golden Age.

Before entering the comics industry, Cole worked as art director in the lithography industry. His comic books career started in the early 1940's and his early work used basic, flat colors. He was known to refer to this as "poster color covers."

Over the course of his career Cole drew in almost every genere. An avid science fiction fan, Cole was known for slipping in sci-fi elements even when they weren't appropriate. Cited examples are rocket ships and ray guns appearing on the covers of Captain Flight and Contact Comics. [1] Both titles were supposed to be devoted to contemporary aviation.
