Career
Romeo Tanghal was born and raised in the Philippines. A self-taught artist, he started doing comics illustrations after graduating high school. He briefly worked with various local publications before emigrating to the United States in 1976.[1] He started working for DC Comics drawing short stories for House of Mystery, House of Secrets, and Weird War Tales. He later became the inker on such features as Super Friends, "Scalphunter" in Weird Western Tales, and "Gravedigger" in Men of War. In 1980, Tanghal became the inker of George Pérez's penciled artwork on The New Teen Titans.[2] Tanghal drew two origin stories for DC's digest line during this time, a ten-page short story in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #5 (Nov.-Dec. 1980) featuring Zatara and Zatanna[3] and the origin of the Penguin in The Best of DC #10 (March 1981).[4] Tanghal began working for Marvel Comics as well in 1986.[2]
