Biography: Joe (Joseph) Coleman was an employee for M.L.J. Magazines (Archie) at the time he filled out his U.S. Draft Registration on February 16, 1942 (per his draft registration card, Coleman listed M.L.J. Magazines as his employer). At the same time, Coleman was noted twice in local Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania newspaper (December 1, 1941, and April 7, 1942) that he was attending school at New York School of Fine and Applied Arts and/or Phoenix Art Institute (both names are mentioned in newspaper reports). This makes it likely Coleman worked for M.L.J. as an artist of some type or in some other creative capacity like production or colorist.
Coleman entered military service on March 16, 1943, in New York City, indicating he might have worked for M.L.J. from about late 1941 to early 1943.
More than likely this Joe Coleman is the same person who is known to have been a colorist for Archie around 1960 and inker for Tower in the mid-1960s.
Notes: Not to be confused with Joe Coleman who working for independent comics publishers from the 1970s until the 1990s.
