Al Milgrom

Allen Milgrom a key figure of the Bronze Age Marvel Universe. For a while, he was seemingly everywhere at all times – providing covers for numerous titles a month; penciling series like The Avengers, West Coast Avengers, and Secret Wars II; writing and penciling Spectacular Spider-Man; editing and Editori-Al’izing on the pages of Marvel Fanfare; inking the pencils of artists like Jim Starlin and many others; and on and on. If you were a Bronze Age kid, Al Milgrom truly exemplified the spirit of Marvel. Al was Born in Detroit, Michigan and graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in art and design in 1972 and moved to New York. After a year interning at DC Comics with legendary artist Murphy Anderson, Al began inking and, soon after, penciling. He’s worked on lots of comics over the years, (penciling, inking and even some writing) primarily for Marvel Comics, but he also co-created Firestorm at DC Comics and did work at Archie Comics as well as Atlas, Dark Horse, and others. He also did stints as an editor at Marvel and DC.
