About the author

Joseph Henry "Joe" Simon (born Hymie Simon) was an American comic book writer, artist, editor, and publisher. Simon created or co-created many important characters in the 1930s-1940s Golden Age of Comic Books and served as the first editor of Timely Comics, the company that would evolve into Marvel Comics.

With his partner, artist Jack Kirby, he co-created Captain America, one of comics' most enduring superheroes, and the team worked extensively on such features at DC Comics as the 1940s Sandman and Sandy the Golden Boy, and co-created the Newsboy Legion, the Boy Commandos, and Manhunter. Simon & Kirby creations for other comics publishers include Boys' Ranch, Fighting American and the Fly. In the late 1940s, the duo created the field of romance comics, and were among the earliest pioneers of horror comics. Simon, who went on to work in advertising and commercial art, also founded the satirical magazine Sick in 1960, remaining with it for a decade. He briefly returned to DC Comics in the 1970s.

Simon was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1999.

Reviews

[Ángel Javier]

Pura historia del cómic. Simon y Kirby creando leyendas. Tal vez las historias sean rudimentarias y toscas, pero toda la fuerza de Kirby ya está ahí, lista para desatarse del todo veinte años después. Desde luego, solo para muy fans del Rey de los Cómics. Lectores casuales, abstenerse.

[Raul Santiago Almunia]

Una gozada de lectura. Como siempre pasa con estas obras no hay que leerla como entretenimiento, si no con interés cultural. Realmente sus historias son muy simples y el dibujo más aún. Es historia del mundo del cómic y poder tener este material en un tomo de calidad es una suerte, para mí ha merecido mucho la pena su estudio.
