Although Sam Rosen started his career in the 1940s with a 7 page assignment on Will Eisner’s The Spirit, he is best known as one of the two calligraphers, usually credited as letterers, responsible for almost every Marvel title in the early 1960s.
Often alternating with Artie Simek,
Rosen worked during a time when all lettering, logos and word balloons were
hand drawn. Credits for lettering were often omitted until the early-to-mid
1960s however Rosen is credited with 1962’s The
Incredible Hulk #3 and The Avengers
#1. He proceeded to letter 51 of the first 100 issues of The Avengers. Rosen's last known credited work appears Captain America
#156 (Dec 1972).
