Dan Gordon (July 13, 1902 – August 13, 1970) was an American storyboard artist and film director, best known for his work at both Famous Studios and Hanna-Barbera Productions.
Gordon was one of Famous' first directors, and he wrote and directed several Popeye the Sailor and Superman cartoons.
Later, at Hanna-Barbera, Gordon worked on several cartoons featuring Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, and others. In the late 1940s, "funny animals" and "teen humor" were two of the most popular categories in the ever-growing world of comic books.
Gordon specialized in both genres and combined the two in the world's first funny-animal teen-humor title.
When he created comic books, he used the pen name "Dang".
