By the 1960s-1970s, the artist firmly established himself as a master of both the war and adventure genres with the titles Star Spangled War Stories, Our Army at War and Tarzan. Notably, he also founded the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in 1976, providing a starting ground for future comic book professionals.

Though sometimes lacking definition in the later years, his artwork always conveyed fluidity, movement and excitement. Read more on Wikipedia.
