Ken Bald was born in New York City, New York and raised in suburban Mount Vernon, New York.^[2] He attended Pratt Institute in Brooklyn for three years, then joined the Englewood, New Jersey studio of Jack Binder, one of the early comic-book "packagers" who would supply complete comics on demand for publishers entering the new medium.^[2] Beginning in 1942, during the 1940s period fans and historians call the Golden Age of Comic Books, Bald, via Binder, began drawing backup features for the prominent Fawcett Comics.^[2]

Creator credits were not routinely given during this era, and while historians have tentatively identified Bald as both penciler and inker of the 14-page Bulletman story "The Terror of the Iceberg" in Fawcett's Master Comics #26 (May 1942), his earliest confirmed credit is penciling the 16-pageCaptain America story "Ali Baba and His Forty Nazis" in Captain America Comics #32 (Nov. 1943), published by Marvel Comics precursor Timely Comics.^[3]

Detail from Dark Shadows newspaper comic strip. Art by Bald.

Going on staff at Timely, Bald drew stories of such superheroes as Captain America, the Sub-Mariner, the Blonde Phantom, the Destroyer, and Miss America variously through comics cover-dated July 1949. He both wrote and drew a number ofMillie the Model humor stories in the comics Georgie and Patsy Walker, and at least drew the teen-humor character Cindy in Georgie and Judy Comics and Junior Miss.^[3]

Sun Girl #2 (Oct. 1948). Cover art by Bald.

Bald penciled the first appearance of the Sub-Mariner spin-off character Namora, in "The Coming of Namora" in Marvel Mystery Comics #82 (May 1947), but it is unclear if he helped create the character; the cover, which was sometimes created first, featured Namora drawn by Bob Powell. Similarly, Bald drew Timely's single issue of The Witness (Sept. 1948), starring a character co-created by writer-editor Stan Lee, but the cover for which was drawn by Charles Nicholas. Bald, with an unidentified writer, co-created Timely the superhero Sun Girl, who starred in a three-issue series cover-dated August to December 1948.^[3]

His other comic-book work included the character Crime Smasher in Fawcett's Whiz Comics in the 1940s, and many anthological horror/suspense stories in American Comics Group's Adventures into the Unknown, The Clutching Hand, Forbidden Worlds and Out of the Night from 1949 through late 1954. Also for ACG, he co-created the adventure feature Time Travelers in Operation: Peril #1 (Nov. 1950).^[3]

In 1957, Bald transitioned to comic strips, beginning with Judd Saxon — about "an up-and-coming young executive",{{cite book|first=Maurice|last=Horn^[4] or "an executive turned detective"^[5] written byJerry Brondfield, for King Features Syndicate.^[5] On October 15, 1962,^[6] A Sunday color strip was added April 19, 1964.^[6] Bald and writer Elliot Caplin premiered the strip Dr. Kildare,^[7] based on thetelevision show of that name. Comics historian Maurice Horn said, "Bald, who modeled the two principals on the actors who played them on television ( Richard Chamberlain and Raymond Massey), drew the strip with breezy, self-assured elegance."^[6] Bald left Judd Saxon the following year.^[4] In 1971, he created the comic strip Dark Shadows, also based on a TV series, a soap opera featuringJonathan Frid as vampire Barnabas Collins. That strip ended the following year. With the end of the Dr. Kildare strip in 1984,^[6][7] Bald retired.^[5]
