Vince Colletta (October 15, 1923 – June 3, 1991) was an Italian-born American comic book inker and art director, one of the most prolific inkers in the industry during the Silver and Bronze Ages. Born Vincenzo Colletta in Casteldaccia, Sicily, he immigrated to the United States as a child and settled in Brooklyn. His fast, smooth inking style made him an in-demand collaborator at both Marvel and DC Comics for over four decades, with particularly notable work inking Jack Kirby on Thor and Fantastic Four. He later served as DC Comics' art director from 1976 to 1979.
