Jim Valentino

Jim Valentino was born in the Bronx, New York. Valentino began his career working on mini-comics in the early eighties. These stories, many of them later collected in the book 'Vignettes', were mostly autobiographical, inspired by underground comix masters R. Crumb and Vaughn Bode. He changed directions a few years later when he signed on to do his fondly remembered superhero parody 'Normalman' for Aardvark-Vanaheim. Valentino began working for Marvel in the late eighties and early nineties on series like 'What If?' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.…Comiclopedia
