A Tribute to Joe Kubert

About Joe Kubert

There's really so much to say - this is the abridged version!
At age eleven, Joe began working in comic books as an apprentice for Harry "A" Chesler, a comics production house. 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.

In October, 1998, Joe established JOE KUBERT'S WORLD OF CARTOONING, which produces a series of correspondence courses.

He is the recipient of many awards, as well as being a past vice-president of the National Cartoonist Society; a member of the Advisory Board for the International Museum of Cartoon Art; member of the New York Press Club; and the Society of Illustrators.

Take a look below at some work created by graduates of the Kubert School, and comics by artists who cite joe as an influence on their careers.

More work will be added throughout the month of November, so check back each week!
