History of Mike Ploog in Comic Book Art

Mike Ploog started his career in TV animation, working on series like Batman and Superman for Filmnation in Los Angeles in 1969. The following year, Ploog moved over to the Hanna-Barbera Studio, where he worked on layouts for the Scooby-Doo series, Motormouse and Autocat and Wacky Races.

Ploog started working in the comic book industry with Warren Publishing, providing artwork for a variety of black-and-white horror and Western series.

In 1972, Ploog sent a sample of his drawings to Marvel Comics, and they were intrigued by his work. They asked him to come in to draw the Werewolf By Night story which first appeared in issue #2 of Marvel Spotlight. 

Ploog then collaborated with writer Gary Friedrich to work on the launch of The Monster of Frankenstein, and the two attempted to keep the storyline closer to the original Mary Shelley version which had often been abandoned in previous comic book adaptations.

Ploog provided artwork for the first six issues, before beginning on the new series Man-Thing with writer Steve Gerber. During this period Ploog also pencilled on series like Planet of the Apes, Kull the Destroyer and Marvel Premiere. 

In the 1980s Ploog left Marvel to return to the film industry, working in post-production on movies like Ghostbusters and an animated adaptation of Lord of the Rings. He also did storyboard work and set design on The Thing, Superman II and Little Shop of Horrors.
