Pete Costanza (May 19, 1913 – June 28, 1984) was an American comic book artist and illustrator.
Costanza began his career at Fawcett during writer Bill Parker and artist C. C. Beck's initial planning and creation of Captain Marvel, later becoming Beck's chief assistant on that character, one of the era's most popular.
[2][3] Costanza also co-created the Fawcett character Golden Arrow with Parker.
In 1967, Otto Binder, a DC Comics writer and editor, recommended Costanza succeed Curt Swan as artist of the series Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen.
Over the next three years, until retiring due to a stroke in 1971, Costanza remained primarily on Jimmy Olsen while occasionally contributing to Adventure Comics, Superman, and World's Finest Comics.
