R.I.P. Joe Simon

The Fellowship is saddened to hear of the passing of Joe Simon at the age of 98. No cause is known as of this writing.

Simon, along with Jack Kirby, created Captain America for Timely Comics (now known as Marvel Comics) in 1940. The duo also created The Sandman, Manhunter, and The Boy Commandos for DC Comics. His influence (as well as Kirby's) is still felt in the industry to this day. Simon was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1999.

Our condolences go his family, friends, and fans.
