Joe Simon, co-creator of Captain America, dies at 98-years-old.
DC Comics reactions:
³Joe Simon was a true legend in the comic book industry. So much of what weare today is owed to him and his amazing creativity. In addition to one of the great writers of the Golden Age, he was also an editor at DC Comics. We appreciate all of his contributions to DC Comics and the industry as a whole, both on the page and behind the scenes.²
Dan DiDio, Co-Publisher, DC Entertainment
³We lost another of the Titans this week. A creative virtuoso, Joe Simon will be best known for co-creating Captain America with legendary artist Jack Kirby but his many contributions to DC Comics, both as a writer and an
editor, are legion and will continue to be cherished by longtime fans, this one included. Our sympathies go out to his family, friends and many, many fans.² Jim Lee, Co-Publisher, DC Entertainment
