Born in Guatemala to U.S. citizens, Kaluta studied at the Richmond Professional Institute (now Virginia Commonwealth University ). His early work included a Flash Gordon story for Charlton Comics and an adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs's Venus novels for DC. Kaluta's influences and style is drawn more from pulp illustrations of the 1930s - his signature motiff is elaborate decorative panel designs - rather than the silver age comics of the 1960s. Kaluta has worked rarely with the superhero genre. Associated during that period with Bernie Wrightson and Jeff Jones he also contributed illustrations toTed White's Fantastic. He is known for his work on the series Starstruck and The Shadow. He co-created Eve, the horror host turned The Sandman supporting character. Because Kaluta's art is so meticulous and time-consuming, his style is not well suited for ongoing comic book work, which generally requires twenty or more pages completed by an artist each month. As a result, when he does accept comic assignments, Kaluta prefers it to be limited series, one-shots, or simply cover illustrations.
