JOE SIMON: My Life in Comics

The first editor of the company that became Marvel Comics, Joe Simon, hired Stan Lee for his first job. Entering the fledgling industry the year after Superman appeared, Simon instantly made a name for himself as a writer, artist, and editor. He and Jack Kirby created the iconic Captain America before America entered WWII. More hits followed and at nearly 100, he's still working. Well illustrated, some in color.
