William "Bill" Lignante (born March 20, 1925 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American illustrator.
Biography
Lignante graduated from Pratt Institute, and worked on the newspaper strip "Ozark Ike" in the 1950's.
When Wilson McCoy suddenly passed away in 1961, Lignante was recruited as a temporary fill-in artist until a new artist was found. After that, Lignante became the main artist (and occasional writer) on the Phantom comic book stories produced by King Comics and Gold Key Comics. From 1962 to 1969 he drew over 40 Phantom comic book stories, of which the last was published by Charlton Comics.
For sixteen years he worked as an animator for Hanna-Barbera, and later became well-known in his role as a courtroom artist for ABC Network News. In the 26 years he spent with ABC, he illustrated 55 trials, including those of Sirhan Sirhan, Charlie Manson, and Patty Hearst.
