Sam Grainger (14 June 1930 – 25 July 1990, USA) was a comics creator, particularly known for his inking at Marvel Comics in the 1970s.
He was active in comics fanzines from the early 1960s. His first professional work was in “Peter Cannon…Thunderbolt” (Charlton) from the end of 1966.
In the fanzine “Star-Studded Comics” (Texas Trio, 1968), he drew an adaptation of Gardner Fox’s novel “Warrior of Llarn” that was written by Roy Thomas.
He began inking at Marvel in 1969 on “The X-Men”, “Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD”, “The Avengers”, and other series.
In the 1980s, he also inked at DC Comics (“Unknown Soldier”), First Comics (“Dreadstar”, “Grimjack”), and other publishers in addition to Marvel.
Some of his fanzine work is reprinted in “Fandom’s Finest Comics” (1997) and “The Best of Star-Studded Comics” (2005), both from Hamster Press.
