DESCRIPTION
crm/ow pgs
Kirby hanging/bondage cover; hanging panels (9/41)Bucky in bondage. Check. Hangman's noose. Check. Nazis. Check. Joe Simon and Jack Kirby kept the potion flowing with the perfect formula that churned out timeless covers time and again. It's likely that the constant drumbeat of anti-Axis sentiment put forth by Kirby and his contemporaries in the darkening days of the late 30s and early 40s had as much to do with America's eventual acceptance of its role in the unfolding conflicts engulfing the globe as the shocking attack on Pearl Harbor. This issue features the Captain America adventures; "The Camera Fiend and his Darts of Doom", "Meet the Fang, Arch-Fiend of the Orient", "The Hangman", and "Trap for a Traitor".
Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
Joseph Henry Simon was an American comic book writer, artist, editor, and publisher. Simon created or co-created many important characters in the 1930sā1940s Golden Age of Comic Books, such as Captain America, and served as the first editor of Timely Comics, the company that would evolve into Marvel Comics.
American comic book artist known for his work on Marvel Comics, particularly his co-creation of Whizzer and also his work on Golden Age Captain America.
