Joe Simon

Joe Simon is the co-creator of heroes including Fighting America, The Boy Commandos and The Guardian. With his partner Jack Kirby, Simon came to DC Comics shortly after the pair created Captain America for Marvel Comics. The Simon and Kirby team would go on to fame as the originators of the romance comics genre, as well as innovating with war, Western and mystery titles before splitting up in the late 1950s.

Al Williamson

Born in 1931 in New York City, Al Williamson was a legendary comics artist. Over a career that lasted more than 50 years, he worked for nearly every major comics publisher, specializing in adventure, Western, and science fiction stories.

He is best known for his beloved work on Flash Gordon, Secret Agent Corrigan, and Star Wars, including the 1980s comics adaptation of Return of the Jedi. His many awards include the Inkwell Awards’ Sinnott Hall of Fame and the Eisner Awards’ Hall of Fame. Although he passed away in 2020, his style influenced countless artists and his legacy lives on through his popular works.
