Simon & Kirby cvr/art; skull cvr, Bucky chokedThe creators of Captain America Comics were never ones to shy away from controversial topics, as was evinced on the cover of issue #1 of the series, Nazis being a favorite whipping boy, but other hate groups such as the American Bund, and in this issue, they seemingly take aim at the Ku Klux Klan, in the form of the villain, the White Death, who dons the familiar robe and hood while dispensing with his nefarious deeds. The not-so-subtle way Cap Comics dealt with the horrors of the times loomed large in the American psyche and helped pull the country through one of its most-tumultuous times. The typically thrilling Kirby cover is another in a long line of iconic illustrations from this historic series.
Artists Information
Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.
