James?Steranko’s?comics career was short but explosive. Every title and character that he worked on — including?Daredevil,?Captain America,?X-Men, and?Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?— was transformed, visually and narratively. He immersed himself in the history of pulp heroes but has combined comics traditions with innovative elements of commercial art and cinematic imagery. He wrote and published two volumes of? The?Steranko?History of Comics?in 1970 and 1972, and through his publishing company, Supergraphics, launched a comics news zine called?Comixscene, which evolved into?Prevue?and ran for 20 years until 1994. His numerous honors include induction into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2006.
