He was born on February 22, 1919, and died on September 7, 2013. Hoffman entered the comics field in the late 1940s, with his credited work spanning from 1947 to 1995 across 49 issues. His most frequent credits include titles such as *Serie-nytt*, *Famous Funnies*, *Eddie*, *Paul Temple*, *Fantomet*, and *James Bond*, where he served as artist, colorist, inker, and writer.
