He later worked on The Patriot, The Destroyer, The Human Torch, Jap Buster Johnson and Jet Dixon of the Space Squadron, All Winners Comics, Marvel Mystery, Sub Mariner Comics, Young Allies and many more.
Let's Play Detective was Bellman's comic book creation. He also contributed to Atlas pre-Code horror, crime, war and western titles.
In the '50s Bellman moved to work for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. He is also a photographer whose work has appeared on hundreds of books and in museum exhibits.
