History of Murphy Anderson in Comic Book Art
Murphy Anderson got his start in the comic book industry after being hired on as a staff artist for the publisher Fiction House in 1943. He had his first work published the following year, a two-and-two-thirds page long non-fiction feature entitled Jet Propulsion in Wings Comics #48.
Two issues later, Anderson published his first fiction story, an eight-page feature called Suicide Smith and the Air Commanders in Wings Comics #50. He then became a regular artists on the series Planet Comics, contributing two regular features, Life on Other Worlds and Star Pirate.
Anderson served in the US Navy from 1944 to 1945, and while stateside he regular provided artwork for a number of science-fiction pulp magazines.
From 1947 to 1949, Anderson illustrated the Buck Rogers comic book series and during the 1950s he freelanced for a variety of publishers including Pines Comics, St. John Publications, Ziff Davis, DC Comics and Atlas Comics.
In 1951, Anderson succeeded Carmine Infantino as the artist for the superhero feature Captain Comet, beginning with issue #12 of Strange Adventures. In Strange Adventures #117, Anderson and writer John Broome co-created the feature Atomic Knights, which Anderson would later describe as his favourite assignment.
In 1964, the Hawkman series was relaunched with Anderson providing the artwork and the stories written by Gardner Fox, the two co-created the character of Zantanna with issue #4 of the series.
In 1966, the duo also revived the Spectre character, featuring him in Showcase #60 and the popularity of his revival led to the Spectre getting his own title the following year.
Anderson was also responsible for the comic book format change during the 1960s, wherein the pages went from being 12x18 inches to 10x15 inches, which allowed the publisher to photograph two pages simultaneously. This suggestion by Anderson subsequently let to changing the industry standard by the end of the decade.
In both 1964 and 1965, Anderson won the Alley Award for Best Inking Artist and Best Comic Book Cover. In 1984, he won an Inkpot Award and in 1998 he was inducted into the Jack Kirby Hall of Fame.
