History of Herb Trimpe in Comic Book Art
Herb Trimpe attended the New York School of Visual Arts and it was there, while still a student that he first began working in the comic book industry, inking backgrounds for his school instructor, Tom Gill.
Gill worked for Dell Comics and Trimpe would ink his pencilling on various Western titles, as well as the comic book adaptation of the film Journey to the Center of the Earth.
In 1967, Trimpe was hired on by Marvel Comics, where he continued to work until 1996. He started out working as an inker, before making his pencilling debut on issue #134 of the Western series Kid Colt.
Shortly thereafter, Trimpe was assigned to pencil for The Incredible Hulk series and Hulk would go on to be Trimpe's signature character. His first issue for the series was The Incredible Hulk vol. 2 #106 in August of 1968, and he continued to be the series penciller through to issue #142.
After a brief hiatus he returned for another run from issue #145-193. He was also responsible for the cover art of the Hulk annuals for 1969, 1971-72, 1976-77. Although Trimpe went uncredited, he was a co-plotter on many of the Incredible Hulk stories, which was not uncommon among Marvel artists at the time.
He was also the first artist to draw the character Wolverine for publication, although created by Roy Thomas and Len Wein, Wolverine first appeared in the last panel of The Incredible Hulk #180 and then again more prominently in #181, both drawn by Trimpe.
Being one of Marvel's longest running artists, Trimpe pencilled almost every famous superhero from Marvel's cannon over his tenure, including Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Thor, Ant-Man, Killraven, Spider-Man and many more.
Trimpe was nominated for a Shazam Award in 1973 for Best Inker and in 2002 won an Inkpot Award.
