Biography

Rudy Lapick was born in The Bronx, New York City, New York, the son of Rudolph and Florence Lapick. He had a brother, John, and a sister, Gioia. After he married Mary Zema on May 30, 1948, the couple moved to nearby Yonkers, New York. They had a daughter, Lorraine and two sons, Rudy Jr. and John.^[4]

Lapick became a staff inker at Timely Comics, the 1940s forerunner of Marvel Comics. In the 1950s, his work included issues of G.I. Joe for Ziff-Davis Comics.^[5] He was Dan DeCarlo's primary inker for the majority of DeCarlo's career both at Timely and for decades at Archie.

Lapick maintained a long friendship with fellow Timely/Atlas artist Gene Colan, dating to their working together in the Timely art room starting in 1946.^{[citation needed]} Almost five decades later, he inked some of Colan's late-career work at Archie Comics.

He was living in Yonkers at the time of his death.^[1]
