Chuck "Bog" Bogossian
(Montvale, Nueva Jersey 1962-Pasadena, Cal. 1996)

Bogossian comenzó su carrera como "layoutman" en la serie animada "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" bajo la supervisión de Tom Sito. Habiendo estudiado dibujo con Burne Hogart, "Bog" tenía un enorme conocimiento de la anatomía humana. Diseñó y animó numerosas películas de superhéroes para Ruby-Spears y Filmation. Siendo un hombre voraz en el completo sentido de la palabra y sumamente obeso por la falta de ejercicio físico, Bogossian murió de un masivo ataque cardíaco en 1996 después de que le ofrecieran diseñar el personaje de "Tarzán" para la película animada de Walt Disney.
