work on the Prince Valiant strip — I do some of them. It's funny — I grew up reading, admiring and copying Prince Valiant and today I'm the one penciling them!" Bolle's last known mainstream penciling and inking for comic books is the cover of Gold Key Comics' Shroud of Mystery #1 (June 1982). He later drew a page for the one-shot benefit comic Strip AIDS U.S.A. (1988) from Last Gasp. He returned to ink the last 31 pages of a 42-page story in Marvel's Captain Marvel vol. 2, #1 (Nov. 1989), over penciler Mark Bright. In the 1980s and 1990s, Bolle drew and lettered the Sunday and daily Tribune Media Services strip Winnie Winkle, either from 1982–1996 or, he has said, "for 20 years". He performed those same functions on King Features' The Heart of Juliet Jones from 1989–2000, either for both dailies and Sundays or "just dailies". He lettered Tribune's venerable Annie daily and Sunday strips in the 1980s through 1999, contributing, as well, a small amount of art as a ghost artist. Finally, he did ghost art on Tribune Media's Gil Thorp in 1995, 1996 and 2008. Credited, he drew the daily and Sunday North America Syndicate strip Apartment 3-G in 1999. He continued with the strip through its finale in November 2015, by which point Bolle was 91. From 1996 through at least 2009, Bolle did pet illustrations for the Westport Pet Company, as well as commissioned pet portraits, including one that was scheduled to appear in the Walt Disney Pictures movie Old Dogs. He illustrated the 2008 children's book My Cat Merigold by Angelica Joy. As late as 2004, he was a guest and panelist at Comic-Con International: San Diego. Awards Bolle was one of 10 recipients of the 2003 Inkpot Award. Personal life As an adult, Bolle lived in Weston, Connecticut, with his wife, Lori. He had two children, daughter Laura and son Frank. Bolle died May 12, 2020, at the age of 95 and was interred at Willowbrook Cemetery in Westport, Connecticut. References Further reading Strickler, Dave.
