Allen Bellman started working for Timely (Marvel) Comics in 1942 and was a mainstay during the Golden Age of comics until 1954. He started his career doing backgrounds for Captain America before joining the Timely staff as a full time artist. His body of work includes art for Captain America, The Patriot, The Destroyer, The Human Torch, Jap Buster Johnson, Jet Dixon of the Space Squadron, All Winners Comics, Marvel Mystery Comics, Sub Mariner Comics, Young Allies, Vampire Brats, Suspense and so much more. He created the back-up crime feature Let's Play Detective and also contributed to pre-Code horror, crime, war and western tales for Atlas. In the 50's Allen also did work for Lev Gleason.

Allen Bellman was born in Manhattan and studied at the High School of Industrial Arts. After leaving the comic book industry due the cutbacks of the mid 50's, Allen became a successful businessman, and after 18 years he moved down here to South Florida where he joined the art department of a major daily newspaper, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel. After that he went into photography and won many nationwide photography contests. Hundreds of his photos have appeared in hardcover books, have been on exhibit in museums and received great reviews in numerous newspapers.

Mr. Bellman is full of amazing stories from the Golden Age, which he loves to speak with fans about. He is one of the few remaining pioneers of the comic book industry and to hear him speak about Timely in the 1940's, working with the likes of Stan Lee, Syd Shores, Mike Sekowsky and the rest of the bullpen is a rare treat. Not only does Mr. Bellman love to speak about his work, he continues to draw to this day. He recently created a new Let's Play Detective strip for 3 Boys Productions, a cover for a recent convention in Ohio and is available for commissions.
