Dan Zolnerowich (1915-1995) is one of the most overlooked comic book artists of the Golden Age.  The creator contributed to over 400 comic books, including over 200 covers during a comic book career that lasted 1940-1953 during its primary era.

Zolnerowich worked for the Eisner & Iger Studio and then for both Iger Studio and Will Eisner's studio when Eisner and Jerry Iger split in 1940. Via those studios, Zolnerowich produced work for comic book publishers including Prize, Quality Comics, and Hillman Periodicals among others, and worked with Eisner on The Spirit and P.S. Magazine.

Magazine may have lasted through to his retirement in the 1980s. In the mid-1980s, he has a small handful of comic credits including for Jonny Quest from Comico and Robotech Defenders from DC Comics. In his later days, he seems to have turned to fine art, and there was a gallery showing of his oil paintings and watercolors in New Jersey in 1987. Dan Zolnerowich's Fiction House covers are his best work and stand alongside the likes of Lou Fine and Joe Simon & Jack Kirby during the period.
