 Giella's art graced many landmark key issues, including Green Lantern #1 and Flash #105. By Jerry Stephan, Heritage Auctions Joe Giella is best known for his work at DC in the 1950s and 60s as an inker. But his career spanned 60 years! He studied art at three different schools before his first gig at age 17 in 1946 where he did "Captain Codfish" for Hillman. After some free-lance at Fawcett, former classmate Mike Sekowsky helped him land a job at Timely as an inker. He met Frank Giacoia there and went with Frank when he took a job at DC in 1949. Over the next two decades, at one time or another, Joe inked nearly every feature that Julius Schwartz edited.  The cover of Flash #117 featured Giella's classy inking. By 1970, Joe had started working with the syndicates and drew or inked Batman, Flash Gordon, the Phantom, while still doing occasional work for DC. In 1991, he took over the Mary Worth strip, where he continued to work until is retirement in 2016. Joe passed away at age 94 on March 21, 2023. |
