Dan Spiegle
[2] Spiegle began his professional cartoonist career in 1949 drawing the comic strip Hopalong Cassidy[3] for the Mirror Enterprises Syndicate.In 1972, Spiegle explained in an interview: I would say my favorite was Maverick, which ran about three years — fairly successful, considering the run of other Western strips published then.As comic-book historian Scott Shaw notes, "What's even weirder about these stories is that in them, none of the 'real' human characters seem to notice anything remotely unusual about occupying space with a three-foot-tall talking cartoon mouse![8] In addition to his naturalistic work adapting live-action television, Spiegle also handled more cartoony material such as Gold Key's Saturday-morning TV animation title, Hanna-Barbera Scooby-Doo... Where Are You!, starting with issue #16 (Feb. 1973).[5] Spiegle later moved to DC Comics, and worked on many of their features, such as Unknown Soldier, Tomahawk, Jonah Hex, and Teen Titans Spotlight until the early 1990s.His most notable work was the "Nemesis" backup series in The Brave and the Bold with writer Cary Burkett,[9] and on Blackhawk with Mark Evanier.
