Who I know mostly as a 1970's/ early 1980's inker, at both Marvel and DC. The first I recall by him was inking Neal Adams on AMAZING ADVENTURES 18 in 1973 the first Killraven story,
pencils by Neal Adams (1-11) and Howard Chaykin (12-20), with Chiaramonte inks.

Also many issues of Claremont/Byrne's first regular Marvel series, IRON FIST (issues 2-7, and 9, in 1975-1976).

And the earliest Ghost Rider, Werewolf By Night, and Son of Satan stories stories in MARVEL SPOTLIGHT, and then in their own magazines.

And INHUMANS 1, in 1975, one of the earliest Marvel series by George Perez. And also over Gil Kane on issue 6.

Among others. Enough to secure his page in comics history.

From about 1977 on, Chiaramonte settled over to DC and was a primarily a Superman inker, mostly on Curt Swan.


Here's a chronological checklist of Chiaramonte's work. He inked a surprising number of memorable stories from that period. Some I'd forgotten were several LEGION OF SUPERHEROES stories pencilled by Jim Janes between roughly 264-280, and inking some Don Newton "Shazam" stories from WORLD'S FINEST and ADVENTURE COMICS digest, a few Newton BATMAN and DETECTIVE stories, and an issue or two of Wofman/Perez NEW TEEN TITANS.
