Who is Russ Heath?
Russell Heath, Jr. is an American artist best known for his comic book work — particularly his DC Comics war stories for several decades and his 1960s art for Playboy magazine's Little Annie Fanny featurettes — and for his commercial art, two pieces of which, depicting Roman and Revolutionary War battle scenes for toy soldier sets, became familiar bits of Americana after gracing the back covers of countless comic books from the early 1960s to early 1970s.
Heath drawings of fighter jets in DC Comics' All American Men of War #89, were used by pop artist Roy Lichtenstein in his oil painting Blam and Brattata.
Heath was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2009.
