George Roussos


George Roussos , also known under the pseudonym George Bell, was an American comic book artist best known as one of Jack Kirbys Silver Age inkers, including on landmark early issues of Marvel Comics Fantastic Four. Over five decades, he created artwork for numerous publishers, including EC Comics, and he was a staff colorist for Marvel Comics.

George Roussos was born in Washington, D.C., the son of GreekAmericans William and Helen Roussos. After he and his sisters Helen and Alice were orphaned as children, George was sent to live at the Brooklyn Orphan Asylum in New York City, and attended Public School 125 in the Woodside neighborhood of Queens. Roussos was influenced by the art of cartoonist Frank Miller in the aviation comic strip Barney Baxter in the Air. Other influences included Chester Gould, Stan Kaye, Robert Fawcett and Hal Foster. I had no schooling except the things I learned by myself, Roussos said.
