Between 1981 and 1998, Bob Rozakis ran DC Comics’ production department, and as Executive Director of Production, he was instrumental in the development of offset-printed comic books in a wide variety of formats.
He was the leading proponent of computerized color separations and typesetting, electronic page preparation, and computer-to-plate printing, and as a result of his efforts on DC’s behalf, the look of comic books across the entire industry changed, DC won more than 100 awards for printing excellence, and Rozakis himself was profiled in Publishing & Production Executive on two separate occasions.
In addition, Rozakis wrote more than 400 comic books, including Superman, Batman, the Flash, Aquaman, Teen Titans, and ‘Mazing Man.
