Joe Rosen (December 25, 1920 — October 12, 2009) was an American comic letterer. He started out in 1940, lettering for Fawcett Comics before moving over to D.C. and began a freelance career in the business. In his lengthy career, he lettered thousands of comics, a great deal of them for Marvel Comics, as he started to letter exclusively on their titles. He retired in the mid-90s, as comic lettering tended more and more towards being done by computer.
