()is father was Sicilian, but his mother was Spanish, or Cuban. Frank considered himself as Italian as he did Cuban. ... Frank worked with me and did most of the tech art." When Ploog moved on and began finding freelance work at Marvel Comics, Chiaramonte collaborated with him as inker on several of Ploog's earliest stories, including in ''Werewolf by Night'' #1-3 (Sept. 1972 - Jan. 1973) and ''Marvel Spotlight'' #7 (Dec. 1972), featuring Ghost Rider.
