George Olesen

George Olesen

George Olesen is best known for his work as a penciller on popular comic strip "The Phantom". He worked with the character for around 40 years, although he did not get any official credit for it until inker Sy Barry retired and Keith Williams took over as the new inker.

George has also illustrated a few Phantom stories for the Scandinavian Phantom comics, which he both pencilled and inked.

George retired in 2005, leaving Paul Ryan to take over both the pencilling and inking jobs on "The Phantom". Today, he enjoys a quiet life with his wife Rigmor, far away from the stressing deadlines he constantly had to face as a cartoonist.
