Patrick J. Masulli (July 31, 1930 – June 10, 1998) was an American comic book creator. During the Silver Age of Comic Books, he was the executive editor of Charlton Comics from 1955–1966. Besides editing over thirty titles in ten years, Masulli co-created the Charlton characters Sarge Steel and the Son of Vulcan.
Masulli attended the Cartoonists and Illustrators School as well as the Phonex School of Art. He entered the comics field in the mid-1940s, freelancing as a writer and artist for such companies as Fawcett Comics, Fox Comics, Hillman Periodicals, Holyoke Publications, Marvel Comics, St. John Publishing, Star Publications, Story Comics, Trojan Comics, Youthful Magazines, and Ziff-Davis Comics.
In 1950, he hooked up with the Derby, Connecticut-based Charlton, initially as a colorist. Although he soon became Charlton editor Al Fago's assistant, during this period Masulli occasionally contributed artwork to the publisher's titles, including covers and even penciling an entire issue of Atomic Rabbit.
Masulli became Charlton's executive editor when Fago left in 1955. Although the company was based in Connecticut, Masulli worked out of an office in Manhattan. In 1958, he hired Sam Glanzman as an artist; Glanzman was a mainstay at Charlton throughout the 1960s. From 1959–1960, Masulli's assistant editor was Dick Giordano.
