Mark Evanier, a writer and historian, has written more than 500 comics for Gold Key, DC Comics and Marvel Comics; several hundred hours of television (including Garfield) and is the author of several books including MAD Art and Kirby: King of Comics. Joe Simon was a writer, artist and publisher who served as the first editor of Timely Comics, the company that would later become Marvel Comics. He passed away in December 2011. This book was his idea and the last one he was contracted to publish. Jack Kirby (1917–94) created or co-created some of comic books’ most popular characters including Captain America, the X-Men, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four and Thor.“Reading this book is like entering the offices of Simon and Kirby and rifling through their files, scouring the slush pile, even breathing in the smoke from one of Kirby’s cigars. It’s a museum in miniature, and like so much else these two artists touched, it’s a wonder to behold.”
PopMatters
“The book gives us fast and furious art from the early days of comics—work done in an almost punklike frenzy—and it’s fascinating to watch Kirby just warming up for his best yet to come.”
