Not to mention "Brother Power the Geek" and "Prez", absolutely original.
I was very saddened at first, but we must say Simon lived an admirably long life, and now him and Jack are reunited! ;)
As experienced writers, both Kirby and Simon dealt with the late 1960s and 1970s youth feelings and so-called "counterculture" in an absolutely original way.
Kirby produced his 4th World (where the most interesting allusions to "flower power" are done in Jimmy Olsen and the Forever People) but he would also keep on a very peculiar exploration in Kamandi, and some experimental magazines he did.

I did not like Prez but was a big fan of Brother Power
vaillant:
Well, I am not making a question of appreciation according to taste, and I have yet to read Prez, I was just suggesting that what Joe & Jack did was undoubtedly original. More or less accomplished, but genuinely original, and – as Jack would have put it – "respectful".
A rare quality among comic book writers, today… ;)

Shaun Clancy informed me that 1950s publisher Stanley P. Morse died in his sleep in the last day or two.

From Steven Rowe
Another old publisher / editor, Muarice Rosenfield (and it is field and not feld) died this summer.
He was an editor and writer for Feature-Crestwood-Prize in the early 1940s, and had his finger in
Brookwood (a pre-Harvey title). His father and Uncle were also in the comics-cheap periodical
buisness - and his son and grandson continue the tradition (but not comics).
