Paul Leroy Norris was an American comic book artist best known as co-creator of the DC Comics superhero Aquaman, and for a 35-year run as artist of the newspaper comic strip Brick Bradford. Norris\' first confirmed credit for DC Comics (then National Comics) is the story \"The Sandman at Sea\", starring DC\'s original Sandman, Wesley Dodds, in Adventure Comics #65 (Aug. 1941). Norris and writer Mort Weisinger revamped that character in superhero attire and introduced sidekick Sandy the Golden Boy in issue #69 (Dec. 1941).

Norris and Weisinger introduced the undersea superhero Aquaman in the eight-page story \"The Submarine Strikes\" in More Fun Comics # 73 (Nov. 1941). That same year, Norris began drawing the adventure comic strip Vic Jordan for PM, one of the New York\'s daily afternoon papers. Norris said in 2007 that he had inadvertently signed an exclusive contract with PM and not realized this for year, after which he had to give up the \"Aquaman\" feature. In 1943, King Features Syndicate assigned Norris to write and draw the existing strip Secret Agent X-9.

Following the war, Norris was rehired by King Features Syndicate, and in 1948 began drawing the Sunday edition of Austin Briggs\' comic strip Jungle Jim. He continued to freelance for DC Comics through 1953, drawing the detective feature \"Captain Compass\" in most issues of Star Spangled Comics #106-130 (July 1950 - July 1952), and the super-speedster feature \"Johnny Quick\" in Adventure Comics #171-186 (Dec. 1951 - March 1953).

In 1952, Norris succeeded artist Clarence Gray on the science-fiction comic strip Brick Bradford, continuing to draw it for 35 years until his and the strip\'s retirement in 1987.
