agentem:jayleeg:apensivelady:agentem:This was Joe Simon. He was adorable. Look he’s got a Cap rubber ducky! He created Captain America with Jack Kirby in 1940 (the first issue was dated March 1941). He was the first editor of Timely Comics, which later became Marvel. He died in 2011the same year that Captain America: the First Avenger came out. He’s not in it. Stan Lee is. No one knows why. ETA: I’m lying. We know why Stan Lee is in the movie. It’s because they think it’s funny to put him in cameos in everything. And he did create the Howling Commandos, Peggy Carter and a lot of other characters in the movie. I just get salty when people say he created Captain America because he 100% did not. He didn’t start working for Marvel until like a decade later. This picture is so cute! :) Plus, I want that rubber duck!Fun fact about Joe Simon? According to his granddaughter Megan Margulies Joe had a Captain America collection, his apartment was apparently just completely filled with Cap paraphernalia. In fact, she would even make him themed cakes for his birthday.Excerpt from the article I just linked……I don’t think even the most devoted among us can love Steve Rogers as much as Joe Simon loved Steve Rogers (though that won’t stop me from trying ;)).This is too cute! Cuter than the rubber ducky (which is like, whoa). @lasrina -- source link
