I love this blog. I appreciate all the work you have put into it.
The breadth of work by Kirby is astounding, and seeing the evolving work is fabulous.
Presently, I don’t know nearly as much about Mr. Simon, but am just as eager to find out more about his history. As a “silver-to-bronze-ager,” I am finding myself drawn to the Golden Age art stylings more and more.
Thanks.

Regarding the “Simon and Kirby Firsts” posts from a few months back, I’ve been reading an electronic copy of Planet Stories #1. “The Captain Nelson Cole of the Solar Force” story has an interior full page panel. The issue is dated January, 1940 in the indicia, so presumably it came out in late 1939.
Best, Luke Blanchard.

Just a note to let you know how much I enjoy your blog and the work you’ve done for Jack Kirby. I really appreciate this labor of love. I only wish that somehow everything could be collected in some kind of omnibus hard copy volume. Again, my deepest thanks and admiration.
Sorry, I have no idea.
