Jim Steranko (1938-) Born in Reading, Pennsylvania, Steranko began as an escape artist, stage magician, advertising art director and guitarist for a rock n' roll band before delving into comics. His first full published work appeared in
Spyman #2 for Harvey Comics. By the late 1960s, he took over the Nick Fury feature in Marvel's
Strange Tales. Steranko was a bold experimenter, infusing
Surrealism,
Pop Art,
Op Art and montage effects into his stories. He combined a dynamic drawing style with carefully composed layouts and panel sequences. This culminated in his breathtaking work in both
Nick Fury and
Captain America titles. While his time in comics was relatively brief, Steranko is regarded as one of the great innovators of the medium. Read more on

Holy transposition....1983? I think you meant 1938 :-)
Numbers got reversed...should be 1938 rather than 1983
Holy transposition indeed! Corrected it. Thanks to both for pointing this out.
