Joe Simon co-created Captain America, and was the first editor in chief of Marvel Comics (where he hired Stan Lee for his first job in comics).Simon began his prolific career in the Great Depression, and this book recounts his journey to New York City, his first comic book work, his meeting with Jack Kirby, and the role comics played in wartime America. He remembers the near-death of the comics, and the scramble to survive. And he reveals what it was like to bring comics out of their infancy, as they became an American art form.

By: Dean Motter, Jeffrey Morgan, Peter Milligan, Shane Oakley, D'Israeli, Brett Ewins, Brett Ewins, Ken Holewczynski, Dean Motter
After revolutionizing the worlds of design and storytelling in 1984, Dean Motter's Mister X returned half a decade later to reinvent alternative comics again for a whole new audience.Returning to the story of Radiant City's mysterious architect and his sleepless quest to repair the flaw in its design that is driving its citizens mad, the second version of Motter's creation used the black-and-white format to introduce deeper shadows and more expressionistic angles to its Art Deco world. With an edgier look and starker themes, this take on Mister X is as groundbreaking today as it was twenty years ago.

With refinement, Cassidy was able to channel his sonic powers into concussive blasts, sonic lances, and even flight. He came to the attention of Professor X, and taking the codename Banshee, after the Celtic spirit, he partnered on occasion with the X-Men and served as a mentor to Generation X. Sculpted by Jason Smith, the Banshee statue stands an impressive 16" tall, replicating this powerful mutant in his most famous costume.
