Nina Albright Born Nina Dorothy Albright[1] Nationality American Area(s) Artist Notable works Miss Victory Nina Albright was an American comic book artist during the Golden Age of Comic Books, one of the few woman working in that field during the period.
Albright got her start in the comics industry by answering a classified ad placed by packager Jerry Iger.[2] She worked in studios like Funnies Inc., L.B. Cole, and Bernard Baily in the 1940s. While employed at Novelty Press in New York, she worked on such features as Young King Cole, Lem the Grem, Dr. Doom, Bull's Eye Bill, and The Cadet (mostly backup features in the Novelty titles 4 Most and Target Comics).[3] She also worked on Fiction House features, including Captain Terry Thunder, Hooks Devlin, Inspector Dayton and Senorita Rio. In 1945, she created Comandette, a heroine featured in Star Studded Comics #1, published by Cambridge House Publishers.[4]
At Holyoke Publications, she did her best-known work on Miss Victory. She also worked for Aviation Press on their Black Venus, and illustrated romance stories for Timely, such as Junior Miss.[5] Up until the early 1950s, she worked for Archie Publications, St. John Publications, and Ziff-Davis.
Albright turned to illustrating after abandoning comics, and worked for magazines such as American Girl and the Polly French book series.[6] She illustrated the 1961 Doubleday Signal paperback Bonnie, written by Lee Wyndham.
