Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

multiply this panel by panel, page after page, book after book (he inked like three books a month at Marvel and DC) over the course of decades. Also, his inks are just aesthetically terrible. Joe Sinnott's inks left Vinnie Colleta's raped and murdered in a ditch.
Nobody could fire Colletta because he was mobbed up. Supposedly guidos would pay the Marvel offices a visit to remind them of this from time to time.
EDIT: also, bear in mind that these dudes were often inking directly over the original boards. Those things that got erased? A lot of them are lost forever.

This just went from a moment of the week thread to a rage thread.

desc... You have great Rage in your heart.
I have a sig/avatar combo for you.
Why would someone all mobbed up be working in fucking comics? Did some crime boss somewhere have a retarded nephew-in-law?
Nnnnyeaah, the kid says he wants to work in comics, see, so he works in comics, see.
People often don't realize the sheer number of people who had organized crime ties in New York during that era (or in Chicago or a few other cities). It didn't mean you were a made man, but often that you had an uncle or a cousin who was. All it took was a non-violent but menacing visit from someone's family member in waste management for a boss to turn a blind eye to someone's poor work.
To both you and Douglas Danger, congratulations for being the only two people with brains on this thread.
Colletta erased things? Grow up, all inkers have done it. Colletta only got work because he was in the mob? Real original, only been repeated by about a hundred idiots before you.
My blog shows lots of great Colletta work on his own, inking Kirby, inking others, comparisons to inferior inkers with big mouths like P. Craig Russell....
Go there.

If only there was some way I could tell who it was.
Some sort of signing of their post or something.
