Autorenporträt
DAN BARRY was born in 1923. His life-long career as a comic strip artist began in 1941 following an encounter with fellow cartoonist George Mandel who gave him his first break working on Funnies Inc. comic. Barry would go on to work for several of the major comic book publishers of the time, including Timely, Feature Comics and Fawcett on titles such as Scottie, Black Owle, Airboy, Boy King, Spy Smasher and Doc Savage. Following his national service, where he served in the Air Force, Barry returned to comics, assisting Burne Hogarth on the Tarzan daily newspaper strip before taking over the strip from 1947 to 1948. In 1951, Barry was hired to revive the Flash Gordon daily strip and eventually took over the Sunday edition too, following the death of its artist, Mac Raboy in 1967. In 1980, Dan Barry created the official poster for the Mike Hodges Flash Gordon movie. Barry would go on to draw Flash Gordon for nearly 50 years, before leaving in 1990, following a disagreement with King Features Syndicate. He went on to work as the writer and artist on the Indiana Jones comic books published by Dark Horse and died in January 1997 at the age of 74.
