The Art of the Simon and Kirby Studio

$60.00


The names Joe Simon and Jack Kirby are synonymous with comic books, and their partnership ushered in the Golden Age of comics in the 1940s. Together they created Captain America and the Sandman, and were the first to publish the western, crime, horror and romance genres in comic books.

“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.”NewYorkTimes.com

Description

The names Joe Simon and Jack Kirby are synonymous with comic books, and their partnership ushered in the Golden Age of comics in the 1940s. Together they created Captain America and the Sandman, and were the first to publish the western, crime, horror and romance genres in 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.
