Mike Esposito
Mike Esposito (born July 14, 1927, in New York City) is a comic book inker. His childhood dreams of becoming an animated at Disney were crushed when his father refused to let him go to California. Instead, he was drafted into WWII and went to Germany. Following his service, he and childhood friend Ross Andru collaborated on a number of projects, including Get Lost, a satire-based title which resulted in an unsuccessful attempt to sue them by Mad Magazine. In the seventies, the pair ended up splitting after a company they'd joined, Skywald publications, collapsed, and Esposito returned to Marvel. While there, he inked a large number of issues of Spider-Man, among other titles. He is current an art director at Archie Comics, and he and Andru have continued to occasionally work together.
