He has more than sixty years in the medium, including creating memorable HAWKMAN, TARZAN, ENEMY ACE, BATMAN, THE FLASH, AND SGT. ROCK stories for DC Comics. He also edited and illustrated SGT. ROCK. SGT. ROCK was published for 30 years until the 1990's.
Joe has written and illustrated four graphic novels: "TOR", "ABRAHAM STONE", "FAX FROM SARAJEVO", and "YOSSEL: APRIL 19, 1943". He has illustrated "SGT. ROCK: BETWEEN HELL AND A HARD PLACE", the graphic novel written by Brian Azzarello.
In 1976, Joe also founded the first and only accredited school devoted solely to the art of Cartoon-Graphics. THE JOE KUBERT SCHOOL OF CARTOON AND GRAPHIC ART INC., Dover, NJ, has produced many of today's leading cartoonists.
