Beginning with "Blue Bolt" in June 1940, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby
set the standard for costumed heroes. Their creation "Captain
America" remains one of the most famous heroes in comic book
history, and their work for Timely and DC Comics raised the bar.
This large format hardcover collects the duo's most exciting
characters: "Fighting American," their cold-war take on the
patriotic hero, "The Fly," with origins in an unknown Spider-Man
prototype, "Lancelot Strong, " the man with the double life, and
the Hollywood swashbuckler known as "Stuntman."
This is the only edition authorized by both Joe Simon and the
estate of Jack Kirby, gathered from the official Simon and Kirby
archives.
A collection of complete comic book stories from the legendary team
of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, covering every genre in which they
made their mark.
From the very beginning in the late 1930s, Simon and Kirby produced
the finest stories around, creating dramatic new super heroes
("Captain America," "Blue Bolt," "Fighting American," "The Fly"),
western action ("Boy's Ranch"), gruesome horror ("Black Magic"),
explosive detective fiction ("Justice Traps the Guilty"), and the
very first romance comics ("Young Romance"). They were the dream
team.
