Mike DeCarlo
Mike DeCarlo is a Copper Age artist and inker best known for his work on Batman-family titles, including Batman: A Death in the Family, where his finishes became closely associated with DC's late-1980s house style. His name is often linked to widely collected Batman keys and crossover-era issues, and his inking serves as a reference point for collectors tracking the visual identity of DC books from that period.
