Sheldon Moldoff

Sheldon "Shelly" Moldoff (April 14, 1920 – February 29, 2012) was an American comic book artist best known for his early work on the DC Comics characters Hawkman and Hawkgirl, and as one of Bob Kane's primary "ghost artists" (uncredited collaborators) on the superhero Batman. He co-created the Batman supervillains Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, Matt Hagen (Clayface), and Bat-Mite, as well as the original heroes Bat-Girl, Batwoman and Ace the Bat Hound. Moldoff is also the sole creator of the Black Pirate (Jon Valor). Moldoff is not to be confused with fellow Golden Age comics professional Sheldon Mayer.
