I was incredibly lucky enough to go to Joe's NYC apartment many years ago with the nycomics team of Sean and Chris. As I read through the article it brought me right back to that day. His work area, his over sized chair and most importantly an amazing man named Joe Simon sitting in that chair right in front of us. We spoke about the upcoming Captain America movie and helped him pick a cover for his soon to be released book. As a comic collector of many years that day stands out as one of most memorable ever. He is missed.

I remember passing by his table at NYCC and watching but not braving the lines to go meet him and chat in person. The creation and public reaction to Captain America is a story in of itself btw.

 

I have two Joe Simon books. Here is my favorite to share:
