Perspective
Roy attended an art school in Wayne, New Jersey, where she studied painting techniques. Her first contact with comics was through collecting Marvel Comics' Tomb of Dracula, The Sub-Mariner, and Conan the Barbarian. Roy's first work as a comics colorist was assisting her then-husband Anthony Tollin, who worked for DC Comics at the time. Long-time colorist Jack Adler gave Roy her first job at DC: the cover of DC Special Series #8 (featuring the Batman, Deadman and Sgt. Rock team-up). Roy considered Adler and fellow colorist Sol Harrison her mentors; both trained her in coloring during her first years at DC.[3]
Roy was also responsible for the coloring on many other titles during that time period: The New Teen Titans, The Warlord, Weird War Tales and Madame Xanadu. Nevertheless, she is predominantly known for her work on the Batman books: Batman, Detective Comics, Batman: Shadow of the Bat, Batman: Gotham Knights, and Robin.[4]
When computerized colors arrived to comics, the assignments to classic colorists substantially decreased. By 2000, Roy was largely out of work, despite training herself on the computer. Roy died from cancer in Austin, Texas, at age 57 on December 14, 2010.[3][5][6]
