Today in Comics History, June 28: Happy birthday, Adrienne Roy!

Born on this date in 1953: comic book colorist extraordinaire Adrienne Roy! She's colored the following characters at DC: just about every single one of 'em! Her credits include Detective Comics, Batman, Robin, Warlord, The New Teen Titans and The New Titans, Arak, Son of Thunder, House of Mystery, Superman and literally dozens and dozens more.

Also, she was at the (in)famous Stan Lee at Carnegie Hall show! And had a bone to pick with half of it.

She, along with a lot of other DC staffers, got invited to Donna Troy and Terry Long's wedding! But I don't think we actually saw her in the story.


from Tales of the Teen Titans #50 (DC, February 1985), co-plot and script by Marv Wolfman, co-plot and pencils by George Pérez, inks by Mike DeCarlo and Dick Giordano, colors by Adrienne Roy, letters by John Costanza
But we did see her (briefly) in the fun backup story where Marv and George met the Titans!

Happy birthday, Adrienne!
