Personality Comics was a short-lived American comic book publishing company that specialized in unauthorized biographies[3] of entertainers and professional athletes, adult comics, and parodies, frequently combining all three genres.
Operating from 1991 to 1993, the company published a myriad of titles under a variety of imprint labels. A typical Personality Comics title featured a painted portrait of the subject on the cover, with black-and-white art inside. (Many of Personality's titles were not comics per se, as they were primarily text with illustrations rather than sequential art.)[2] Regular contributors included Robert Schnakenberg, Mark Caraballo, Hector Diaz, Neil Feigeles, and Pat Henkel. Notable creators associated with the company included John Tartaglione, Jimmy Palmiotti,[4] Barry Blair, Fred Hembeck, and Adam Hughes.
Originally based in Massapequa, New York, the company later moved to Melville, New York.
