History of Ernie Colon in Comic Book Art

Ernie Colon began his professional career in the comic book industry working for Harvey Comics, although much of his early work went uncredited. He frequently collaborated with his creative partner and editor, Sid Jacobson. His earliest credited work was in 1960, with Colon providing the cover art for Spellbound, a 15-page story within issue #28 of Casper.

Shortly thereafter, he was also credited for the cover art on a one-off two-page featurette, entitled Madhouse Stamps for Teens, inside Archie's Madhouse #9, published by Archie Comics.

Colon then drew three issues of Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom #24-26 for Gold Key Comics in 1968. Colon also freelanced for Warren Publishing, drawing for several of their black-and-white horror titles such as Creepy, Eerie and Vampirella; however, he did so under the pen name Jack Purcell. During this same time period, he also drew for their rival Skywald Publications on Psycho #3. 

His first work for Marvel Comics was for an adaptation of Battlestar Galactica, written by Roger McKenzie in 1979. 

In the 1980s, Colon was hired on by DC Comics, and it was there that he co-created the historical fantasy Arak, Son of Thunder along with writer Roy Thomas. Following that Colon introduced the character Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld in The Legion of Super-Heroes vol. 2 #298, written by Dan Mishkin and Gary Cohn.

Colon took on the position of editor for DC Comics from 1982 to 1985, overseeing series like Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Arion, Lord of Atlantis and The Flash.

He also worked for other publishers such as Valiant Comics, drawing the series Magnus: Robot Fighter and Airboy for Eclipse Comics. He would later return to Marvel Comics to draw for the series Damage Control and Doom 2099.
