Howard Bender
Howard Bender is a Bronze Age artist best known for his penciling on DC titles like Action Comics, and his earlier Marvel work on titles including The Defenders, with additional work that places him within late 1970s and early 1980s superhero comics. His name is often associated with that transition period in Marvel art, and his credited issues attract collector interest from readers tracking title runs, character appearances, and late Bronze to early Copper visual continuity.
