Dennis Janke

Dennis Janke (born April 13, 1950) is an American comic book artist who was active in the industry from the mid-1980s to the mid-2000s, primarily as an inker. He is known for his work on the DC Comics character Superman, particularly his nine-year run as inker on Superman: The Man of Steel. A freelancer, Janke worked for both DC and Marvel Comics during his career, occasionally penciling covers and stories, but mostly focusing on "finish inking" over other artists' pencils. Janke has worked extensively with pencilers Jon Bogdanove and Jerry Ordway, creating Doomsday with Ordway. With Mark Gruenwald and Paul Neary, Janke co-created Armadillo. In his career, Janke has also worked on dozens of independent comic books and underground comix, including his own self-published series, Flaming Baloney (published with James R. Blevins c. 1975).
