George Papp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

George Papp (1916-1989) was a U.S. cartoonist and comic book artist. Best known as one of the principle artists on the long-running Superboy feature for DC Comics, Papp also co-created the Green Arrow character with Mort Weisinger and co-created Congorilla along with writer Whitney Ellsworth.

Papp began his comic book career with the occasional feature and cartoon in early issues of the Superman family of comics. Pep Morgan, Congo Bill (later Congorilla) and Clip Carson were the first features he worked on for Action Comics. The Green Arrow feature made its first appearance in the November 1941 issue of More Fun Comics (More Fun #73). Papp joined the American army during World War II. He drew the Superboy feature from 1958-1967, working on a variety of memorable characters, including early appearances of the Legion of Super-Heroes. Papp was fired by DC in 1968 along with many other prominent DC writers and artists who had made demands for health and retirement benefits.
