NEW YORK (JTA) — Comic-book artist Stan Goldberg, the color designer for Marvel Comics’ classic superheroes, has died.<\/p>\n

Goldberg, known to comic-book fans as “Stan G,” died Sunday at Cavalry Hospital in the Bronx. He was 82.<\/p>\n

He was inducted into the National Cartoonists Society Hall of Fame and awarded with its Gold Key Award in 2012.<\/p>\n

Goldberg started his career at age 16, when he joined Timely (now known as Marvel) Comics as a staff colorist, quickly becoming its color department manager. He colored interiors and almost every Marvel cover published throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, according to his family.<\/p>\n

He also was the color designer for the classic Marvel superheroes and villains of the 1960s, including Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, The X-Men and The Hulk.<\/p>\n

Goldberg went on to illustrate romance comics, such as Patsy Walker, My Girl Patsy and Millie the Model. He also helped write plots for Millie the Model.<\/p>\n

In the late 1960s, Goldberg began illustrating for Archie Comics, where he worked for more than 40 years.<\/p>\n

Most recently, he worked on several graphic novels, including Nancy Drew and the Three Stooges.<\/p>\n

Goldberg had homes in Queens, N.Y., and on Long Island in Hampton Bays.<\/p>\n

He is survived by his wife of 53 years, two sons and four grandchildren. Goldberg also had a daughter that was murdered in 1984.<\/p>\n
