Tony DeZuniga (November 8, 1932 – May 11, 2012) was a Filipino comic book artist best known for co-creating Jonah Hex and Black Orchid for DC Comics. Born in Manila, Philippines, DeZuniga was the first Filipino artist to break into the American comic book market, opening the door for a wave of Filipino talent at both Marvel and DC in the 1970s. His rich, atmospheric inking style was in demand across both publishers, and his mentorship of fellow Filipino artists helped transform the industry's creative workforce. He worked extensively at Marvel on titles including Thor and various horror anthologies.
