Joe Simon Co-Creator of Captain America Dies at 98

He created beloved characters and had a helping hand in making modern comics what they are today.  It's a sad day in the world of comic fan-dom but here's hoping that he's now sitting at the drawing table with Jack Kirby, turning out the best Captain America story ever written and that it will be on sale outside the pearly gates; that way I can read it while I wait in line.

RIP Joe Simon, you had a great run.  My condolences to his family and loved ones.
