Joe Simon relates a story that once when he was in a legal battle with Marvel over copyrights, a threat was made to kill off Captain America. Joe then proceeded to make a painting of Captain America’s last meal with help from his daughter Gail Simon and someone named Leonardo. The painting has a prominent place on his living room wall. You can see a larger version of the image here.
