	Michael Kaluta biography
		Kaluta is only the third illustrator I've profiled who is younger than I. He's the only one of these 100 who has actually been to my home.
		Kaluta placed Lee's outrageous and improbable characters in rollicking, wild and violent worlds that were impossible to create on the stage.
		Kaluta's reinterpretation is faithful to both the heart of the screenplay and the spirit of the film.

		Mike Kaluta is/was popular penciler best known for doing The Shadow at DC and he still works in and outside of the comic industry.
		Mike Kaluta said Joe Orlando gave him freedom, but Joe Kubert took over his books and he ran things with an iron fist and actually drew over his artwork without asking/telling him about it.
		Kaluta said had he just talked to Adler it wouldn't have been a problem, but since it was on paper people that he was requesting doing things differently it became a huge stink.

		Known within the comics community as the king of licensed properties, Dark Horse Comics has become a major force within an industry once dominated by the “dynamic duo” of DC and Marvel Comics.

		We drew top talent like Frank Miller, Walt Simonson, Mike Mignola, John Byrne and the leading talents of that particular time.

	Bernie Wrightson Interview - Comic Book Artist #5 - TwoMorrows Publishing
		Along with Mike Kaluta, Bernie began as a somewhat crude (if obviously talented) artist empowered with an intense enthusiasm for the art form, and he flowered at DC to become an exceptional world-class artist of enormous capability.
		That's were I met Kaluta, Jeff, and a whole bunch of people.
		Kaluta and I would be doing a signing at a convention and he would lean over and point at the crowd and say, "There's your public." [laughs] It was pretty awful where we'd make fun of the fans.

	Mike Kaluta's "Metropolis" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		One of the acknowledged masters of comic book illustration, Mike Kaluta has proven himself a multi-talented graphic artist who has transcended the limitations of the work which first made him famous.
		His less streamlined and more mechanized approach to the robot and his nods to pulp fiction motifs take the Art Deco world of "Metropolis" and show it at a new angle which must in turn have an influence on the design choices made for the Pentacle Theatre production of the musical.
		Josaphat from the film is not a character in the musical, but other new characters appear, most notably, some of the workers are supporting roles as are a group of children.

		Pin-up covers are fine for high-selling books, but for any book that's losing readers and close to cancellation, like Aquaman was when Kaluta took over as cover artist, you want something that will make the readers take a second look.
		Something that will make them want the answer to the mystery that the cover sets up.
