For those who didn’t catch the correct answer when it was guessed, I figure I’d better announce here the identity of the comic book artist I challenged you to identify.

My first clue was that the artist’s “style became the signature look for a well-known character.”

But that wasn’t enough of a clue for any of you to solve the mystery, as all that resulted were a couple of dozen wrong answers. So I gave a second clue, this time that “this artist previously worked for a comics company that was sued by the company he or she eventually ended up defining that character for.”

That was enough to give it away. Within 15 minutes, Jacque Nodell, she of the wonderful blog Sequential Crush, popped up with the correct answer, which is … below, after the pic, in case you want one final chance to guess it on your own.

Give up?

The artist was …

Kurt Schaffenberger!

And the character for whom he provided the signature style (now that you know his name, do I really need to tell you?) was this one.

As for clue number two, which gave it all away, before working at DC, Schaffenberger also drew members of the Captain Marvel family for Fawcett.

Satisfied?
