Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. You can’t find more revered names in the annals of comic book history. They created Captain America back in 1940, for pete’s sake, showing Steve Rogers punching Adolf Hitler in the jaw even before Pearl Harbor.
On Tuesday, Titan Books will release The Simon & Kirby Libarary: Crime, an anthology of over 30 stories the duo created together over their long partnership, focusing on the pulpy criminal underworld that always makes for good comic tales. The good folks at TItan have given the good folks at Crave Online an exclusive excerpt from that book, featuring a full, complete story entitled A Phantom Pulls The Trigger.
What are you waiting for? Get a move on and read the entire 7-page tale from two of the legendary masters of the medium. Respect your history, and love the instructional diagram at the end that could teach you how to create a Phantom-esque crime spree of your own!
