1st Simon & Kirby Sandman, 1st Simon & Kirby DC work; bondage coverEverything must have its beginning -- note here the beginning of the Simon & Kirby DC juggernaut, which may have been overshadowed slightly by their Timely triumphs, but was no less influential and flew off shelves during the Golden Age, ensuring their place as one of the most successful of comics partnerships. This issue debuted their take on GA favorite, the Sandman, who had been revamped into full hero mode (complete with sidekick) only months earlier, making him perfectly suited to the bombastic Kirby style. Readers responded instantly, reviving the wobbly title, and reinstating the Sandman in the top tier of WWII-era DC titans.
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.
