About the Author:
Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created one of the most enduring American heroes in 1940 with the first issue of Captain America Comics from Timely Comics--the company that became Marvel Comics. Simon proved to be a brilliant editor, writer, penciller, inker, and businessman, serving as an editor for Archie, Harvey, Fox, Crestwood, and Mainline Publications--Simon and Kirby's own company.
Jack Kirby is one of the most famous illustrators in comic book history. Having begun in the Fox Comics Bullpen in 1939, he teamed with Joe Simon on such seminal series as Blue Bolt and Captain Marvel Adventures. In subsequent years they worked in every genre imaginable, often seeing their titles sell in excess of one million copies.
Jim Simon is an author of novels and nonfiction books, including histories of comics and pulp art. His contributions to his book lend insight into the Simon and Kirby creative process and personal interactions as well as providing a look at the history of comics during the team's run. Jim's graphic novel, ShieldMaster: The Phoenix Project, is available on Amazon in digital (ASIN: B013YPY93Q) and print (ASIN: 096268581X) format.
