Personality Comics was a short-lived American comic book publisher which specialized in unauthorized profiles of professional athletes and entertainers, as well as adult comics. A typical Personality Comics title featured a painted portrait of the subject on the cover, with black-and-white art inside. Operating from 1991 to 1993, the company published a myriad of titles under a variety of imprint labels. (Many of Personality's titles were not comics per se, as they were primarily text with illustrations rather than sequential art.)
Regular contributors included Mark Caraballo, Hector Diaz, Neil Feigeles, and Pat Henkel. Notable creators associated with Personality included Barry Blair, Fred Hembeck, Adam Hughes, and John Tartaglione.

Originally based in Massapequa, New York, Personality later moved to Melville, New York. Adam Post was the company's publisher, co-owner, and president. The company's story editor was Michele Howell, and the art editor was Kirk Lindo.
In February 1993, Personality announced it had bought the rights to the defunct comics magazine Amazing Heroes, and planned to revive it.[1] However, nothing came of it as Personality itself folded later that year.
Altogether, Personality Comics published nearly 80 titles and over 200 individual issues.
