Joe Sinnott (October 16, 1926 – June 25, 2020) was an American comic book artist whose inking defined the visual language of Marvel Comics for decades. Born in Saugerties, New York, Sinnott is best known for his sixteen-year run inking the Fantastic Four — first over Jack Kirby's pencils, then over a succession of artists — his brushwork providing a consistent visual identity that became synonymous with Marvel's flagship title. Stan Lee called him the most in-demand inker in the industry. In 2020, he was inducted into the Inkwell Awards Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame.
