Charles S. Paris (September 25, 1911 – March 19, 1994) was an Americancomic bookartist who predominantly worked as aninker, mainly forDC Comics.
Paris was born in 1911, and moved toNew York City in 1934.[1] In Spring 1941, Paris metJack Lehti, and soon after began work inking and lettering Lehti'sCrimson Avenger in the pages ofDetective Comics.[1] From there, Paris started work in the DC 'bullpen', inking characters such asAirwave, and later working onVigilante andJohnny Quick, among other characters.[1]
He worked withBob Kane on the 1943-46Batman and Robinnewspaper strip, inking most of its run.[1] When that strip ended, Paris was employed byDC Comics as an inker on a number of Batman comic stories and covers, predominantly inking the work ofSheldon Moldoff andDick Sprang.[1] Despite working on Moldoff's pencils for a number of years, the pair never met, Moldoff recalling "The field was very competitive, and you rarely hobnobbed with people, because there was always somebody waiting for your job."[2] During Paris' run on the book the characterBatmite was introduced.[2] In addition to his inking work, Paris penciled two issues of theBatman title - #42 and #46.
Paris worked on Batman titles until 1964.[1]
Paris's last regular assignment from DC was inking the self-titledMetamorpho comic book, for which he inked 15 of the 17 issues between July 1965 and December 1967.[3]
Outside of the comics field, during the late 1940s and early 1950s, "Paris produced a variety of artwork... including Western genre paintings."[1]
He died in 1994 inArizona.[1][4]
