In 1982, Rubinstein inked the acclaimed Wolverine limited series.
One of his most important works has been inking The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe over a span of twenty years, for which he holds a Guinness World Record of inking more pencilers than any other inker.
Among his extensive inking credits (which include more than 2,500 comic books), were work with Michael Golden on Micronauts, Jim Starlin's Warlock and Aquaman with Don Newton. Later assignments included a mini-series for Dark Horse Comics called Archenemies, and co-inked issues of DC Comics's Ion mini-series and Green Arrow/Black Canary.
"Joe is one of the most important artists of the Bronze and Copper Ages of comics," said event director Mark Hodges. "Joe was instrumental in the creartion of the look of one of the most iconic characters in the Marvel universe, and he was very important in the creation of one of Marvel's encyclopedia to their history. We are glad that Joe will be with us."
