The son and grandson of CaptainAmerica co-creator Joe Simon have their own shield-slinging superhero coming to the page
Jesse Simon, the grandson of Captain America co-creator Joe Simon, is bringing his own shield-slinging superhero to comics. Last month, Simon took Shieldmaster to Kickstarter, introducing a character that he designed and conceived in concert with his father and grandfather, bring a generational element to an all-new, star-spangled hero.
"This was a concept created by my father, Jim Simon," Jesse Simon told ComicBook.com."He grew up around Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, and all of these other guys that are considered legends. So often, I hear people saying that they wish that they were a fly on the wall in the studio, seeing Joe and Jack create everything that they did and all these other guys. My father, he was that fly on the wall.
"That came about because Joe was telling stories to my father, as a father does with his son, and just regular stories," Simon explained."My father went to school for writing, got a degree in writing, and he started writing down these stories because he told Joe that, 'Hey, these are some really entertaining stories. Why don't you write a book?' And my grandfather said, 'No, nobody will want it. It's not good enough.
