In 1980, Tanghal became the inker of George Pérez's penciled artwork on The New Teen Titans.[3] Tanghal drew two origin stories for DC's digest line during this time, a ten-page short story in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #5 (Nov.–Dec. 1980) featuring Zatara and Zatanna[4] and the origin of the Penguin in The Best of DC #10 (March 1981).[5] Tanghal began working for Marvel Comics as well in 1986.
