'The Phantom'.
Bill Lignante was a longtime artist of 'Phantom' comic books. After a three-year-stint in the US Navy, he enrolled at the Pratt Institute in New York. Upon graduation, he began his career as a cartoonist, starting with 'Ozark Ike' and later 'Let's Explore Your Mind'. Lignante's first involvement with Lee Falk's 'The Phantom' was finishing a daily strip after Wilson McCoy's death in 1961. He then did the Sunday comic for a while, before becoming the main artist of the Gold Key and King comic books featuring the character. Lignante had also worked on animated cartoons for Hanna-Barbera.
From 1962 on, Lignante worked on Albert Edward Wiggam's 'Let's Explore Your Mind'. Other artists who worked on 'Let's Explore Your Mind' were Jack Hamm, Rick Yager (late 1940s) and Richard Doxsee.
In 1968, he settled in California and began a career as a courtroom artist for ABC Network News.
