Cartoonists: An article in Sunday’s Calendar section about recent books and museum exhibitions on classic cartoonists said Jack Kirby created the superhero Captain America. Kirby co-created the character with writer Joe Simon. Also, the article referred to three new biographies of cartoonists that complement complete reprintings of their life works, and implied that Kirby’s life work is in “The Complete Dick Tracy.” While there is a forthcoming biography of Kirby, there is not a reprinting of his entire life’s work. “The Complete Dick Tracy” reprints the life work of cartoonist Chester Gould.
