Kubert began his comic art career in 1938 at the age of 11. Throughout his lengthy, seventy-year career, he has worked as an artist, writer, editor and educator, inspiring creators for generations. In 1976, Kubert founded the Joe Kubert School of Comic and Graphic Arts in Dover, New Jersey. Since its inception, hundreds of creators have attend the school to learn from masters of the comic industry, including his own two sons, Adam and Andy.

"He drew almost every Sgt. Rock story for decades and the cover to almost every DC war comic. Not only is he a favorite among fans, but when other comic book artists talk about their influences and whom they admire, his name is invariably mentioned."
