Career
George Papp began his comic book career with the occasional feature and cartoon in early issues of the Superman line of comics. "Pep Morgan" and "Clip Carson" were the first features he worked on for Action Comics.[3] Papp primarily worked for DC Comics, but briefly worked for Columbia Comics and Harvey Comics as well.[4] At DC, Papp co-created Green Arrow and Congo Bill.[5][6] Papp joined the U.S. Army during World War II before returning to comics.[3] From 1946 to 1968, Papp worked on the Green Arrow and Superboy comics, during which he co-created Bizarro, General Zod, and the Phantom Zone, among others.[4][7][8] His other work includes several early appearances of the Legion of Super-Heroes.[4] Papp was fired by DC in 1968 along with many other prominent writers and artists who had made demands for health and retirement benefits.[9] His final published comic was Superboy #148 (June 1968).[4] Afterwards, Papp worked in commercial art and advertising.[1]
