Simon And Cult

Mention the name Joe Simon and comic book historians or fans immediately associate his name with another comic book great, Jack Kirby. After all, as a team they were responsible for such runaway big hits such as Captain America, Romance Comics and dozens of other ground-breaking series and concepts.

But, Joe was, and is, one of the most influential and innovation comic book creators and artists in his own right sans Kirby.

In Titan Books’ new title, ‘Joe Simon: My Life In Comics’ Joe writes about his long career in comics and how he got his start, where he met Jack Kirby, what he has contributed to the industry over the decades and his life outside of comics. Did you know that Joe is not only a writer and artist but an editor as well? He’s a photographer, worked for newspapers, he’s an entrepreneur, illustrator and a true pioneer in the comic book field.


This book contains a wonderful account of his life and work complemented by his black and white and color illustrations. It makes for a fascinating read by allowing readers to see the man behind the legend.

The Annual Crazy 4 Cult Art Show held in Los Angeles at Gallery 88 has increased in popularity since its debut. Artists, celebrities and other well-known individuals flock to the show and purchase some the finest art by many of the regions premiere ‘alternate’ underground urban artists.

Their theme is to create their own unique vision of a selected cult movie. The response has been phenomenal-so much so that Titan books has produced a new book, 'Cult Movie Art’ containing examples from the last four years.


Look for interpretations of such cult classics as Blade Runner, Donnie Darko, Pulp Fiction and many more well know, and maybe not so well known, movies.


Writer/director/actor Kevin Smith provides the quirky introduction to one of the most eclectic collections of art ever to see print.
