Rogers, Over and Out
Or
With Your Shield-- or On It
Joe Simon, creator of the only comic book character who could make Superman look cool, has died at the age of 98. With partner Jack Kirby, the Comic Book Hall of Famer is best known for creating Captain America, the sturdy, stolid, boring supersoldier created from 98-pound weakling Steve Rogers. The pair later pioneered romance comics, for those who consider romance novels too sophisticated, and horror comics, which makes him a godfather to the Cryptkeeper.
