Jack Kirby 1917, comic book artist, In 1941, Kirby and writer Joe Simon created the highly successful superhero character Captain America for Timely Comics. He contributed to a number of publishers, including Archie Comics and DC Comics, but ultimately found himself at Timely's 1950s iteration, Atlas Comics, later to be known as Marvel Comics. In the 1960s, Kirby co-created many of Marvel Comics' major characters including the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Hulk along with writer-editor Stan Lee. Despite the high sales and critical acclaim of the Lee-Kirby titles, Kirby felt treated unfairly, and left the company in 1970 for rival DC Comics. While working for DC, Kirby created his Fourth World saga, which spanned several comics titles. Kirby returned to Marvel briefly in the mid- to late 1970s, then ventured into television animation and independent comics.
