About this product
Product Information
The names Joe Simon and Jack Kirby are synonymous with comic books, and their partnership ushered in the Golden Age of comics starting in the 1940s. Together they created memorable characters such as Captain America and Sandman, invented romance comics, and raised the standard for the genres of western, crime, and horror comic books. Over the course of three decades they wrote and illustrated several hundred comics, many of which are reproduced in this oversized volume covering all aspects of their amazing career. Selected and with an introduction by Mark Evanier, the foremost authority on the work of Simon and Kirby, and an afterword by Jim Simon, son of Joe Simon, the book includes artwork photographed from the original art in Joe Simon's private archive and showcases the seminal work of Simon and Kirby and their artistry as it has never been seen before.Product Identifiers

ReviewsThe 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., 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.

Sir Simon and King Kirby in the Raw
A wonderful peak inside the Simon and Kirby Studio of the 1940's and 1950s. The reader gets a clear sense of the amount of painstaking work that went into each page. Plus, the large size of the reproductions allows viewers to see fine details that are lost in smaller reproductions.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Beautiful Book
Really nice presentation of classic comic art, most of which I've not seen before. If you are a fan Jack Kirby's work, I highly recommend picking up this (large, mostly b&w) volume.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
