Adrienne Roy (June 28, 1953[2] – December 14, 2010) was a comic book color artist who worked mostly for DC Comics. She was largely responsible for coloring the Batman line (Batman and Detective Comics) throughout the 1980s and early 1990s.
Biography
Roy attended an art school in
Roy was also responsible for the coloring on many other titles during that time period: The New Teen Titans, The Warlord, Weird War Tales and Madame Xanadu. Nevertheless, she is predominantly known for her work on the Batman books: Batman, Detective Comics, Batman: Shadow of the Bat, Batman: Gotham Knights, and Robin.[4]
When computerized colors arrived to comics, the assignments to classic colorists substantially decreased. By 2000 Roy was largely out of work, despite training herself on the computer. Roy spent her last days battling cancer[3] and died in Austin, Texas, at age 57 on December 14, 2010.[5][6]
