Description
Captain America first appeared in “Captain America Comics” #1 (March 1941), from Marvel Comics’ 1940s predecessor, Timely Comics, and was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. Though preceded as a “patriotically themed superhero,” Captain America immediately became the most prominent and enduring of that wave of superheroes introduced in American comic books prior to and during World War II. With his sidekick Bucky, Captain America faced Nazis, Japanese and other threats to wartime America and the Allies. The design was created by artist Joe Jusko, known for his realistic, highly detailed painted fantasy, pin-up, and cover illustrations, mainly in the comic book industry. Jusko painted the 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards, the popularity of which has been credited with initiating the painted trading card boom of the 1990s. In addition to his long stint as one of the main cover artists for “The Savage Sword of Conan,” Jusko has painted every major character that Marvel Comics has created, most notably the Hulk, Captain America and the Punisher.
