Written by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, with art by Simon and Kirby, and inked by Al Liederman and Jack Kirby, this landmark issue captures the spirit of wartime heroism through dynamic visuals and a bold new hero. The cover, a collaborative effort by Kirby and Simon, boldly announces the arrival of a symbol of resistance.
