Alfred J. Gabriele[1] (December 22, 1916 – July 12, 1992) was an American comic book artist during the 1940s period fans and historians call the Golden Age of comic books. He was known for his work on some of Marvel Comics' earliest Captain America and Sub-Mariner stories, and for co-creating the company's superheroes Black Marvel,[2] Miss America, and possibly, the Whizzer.[3]
His last name is given erroneously in at least some standard references as "Al Gabrielle", with two "L"s,[4] though other references[5][6] and the vast majority of his credits spell his name with one "L".[7]
