Biography:

Charles Paris was a comic book artist who predominantly worked as an inker, mainly for DC. Paris was born in 1911, and moved to New York City in 1934. In Spring 1941, Paris met Jack Lehti (b. 1912), and soon after began work inking and lettering Lehti's The Crimson Avenger (English) in the pages of Detective Comics (DC, 1937 series). From there, Paris started work in the DC 'bullpen', inking features such as Air Wave (English), and later working on Vigilante (English) and Johnny Quick (English), among other characters.

He worked with Bob Kane (b. 1915) on the 1943-46 Batman and Robin newspaper strip, inking most of its run. When that strip ended, Paris was employed by DC as an inker on a number of Batman (English) comic stories and covers, predominantly inking the work of Sheldon Moldoff (b. 1920) and Dick Sprang (b. 1915). Paris worked on Batman titles until 1964. Paris's last regular assignment from DC was inking Metamorpho (DC, 1965 series), for which he inked between July 1965 and December 1967.
