After the war, he returned to the Daily News as an apprentice in the art department. Gallo became sports cartoonist at the Daily News in 1960 and his cartoons and columns have entertained and informed millions of readers ever since. With his innate ability to translate the drama and glory of sport through art, Gallo was one of the most respected journalists. Gallo was awarded the James J.
