# Bob Oksner

Bob Oksner (Paterson, 14 d'octubre de 1916 - Delray Beach, 18 de febrer de 2007) va ser un dibuixant de còmics nord-americà conegut tant per les tires d'aventures com pels còmics de superherois i humor, principalment a DC Comics.

## Biografia

Els primers treballs d'Oksner inclouen la creació de la segona versió de Marvel Boy el 1943 per a Timely Comics, el predecessor de Marvel Comics. Més tard va escriure amb Jerry Albert i va dibuixar la tira còmica dels diaris sindicats Miss Cairo Jones (1945–1947), després de la qual l'editor de DC Sheldon Mayer el va contractar com a artista en còmics adaptats d'altres mitjans. Oksner va dibuixar algunes històries de la Justice Society of America a All Star Comics durant els seus primers anys a DC. Va passar de les tires d'aventures a les d'adolescents com Leave It to Binky, que va debutar el febrer de 1948. El treball d'Oksner en aquest camp va incloure The Adventures of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis i el seu successor, The Adventures of Bob Hope; The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis; Sgt. Bilko; Pat Boone; i Welcome Back, Kotter; i per al sindicat King Features, el spin-off del còmic del diari de la sèrie de televisió dels anys 50 I Love Lucy. Altres treballs inclouen dibuixar els còmics d'humor originals Angel and the Ape i Stanley and His Monster.
Quan la demanda de còmics d'humor va caure a la dècada de 1970, Oksner va començar a dibuixar sèries de superherois de DC com Superman, Supergirl, Shazam!, Superman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane, Ambush Bug i altres.
L'altre treball d'Oksner en tires còmiques va incloure el relleu de Gus Edson com a escriptor de Dondi de l'artista i creador Irwin Hasen durant un temps començant el 1965; i dibuixant i co-creant Soozi (1967), amb Don Weldon. Es va retirar del còmic l'any 1986.
Oksner era jueu.

## Premis

Oksner won the National Cartoonists Society Division Award for Comic Books in 1960 and 1961, and in 1970 the Shazam Award for Best Pencil Artist (Humor Division) for his work on Adventure Comics and other DC titles.
Oksner va ser el guanyador del Inkpot Award el 2002.
