KATHOOM! The men of Marvel

Artie Simek and Joe Rosen; banners, balloons and sound effects. These mighty men of Marvel, brought sound to the stunning visuals of a fledgling Universe.

Working by the "Marvel Method", these fine fellas further honed their skills, lettering around the art, finding a sure way not to intrude or interrupt. Aided by the masters like Kirby and Ditko, who knew well to leave ample space, this by no means, diminishes their accomplishments.

Mammoth sound effects and bold title pages - and credits - were their stock in trade.

The Marvel Age truly began with a boom as Marvel expanded, and it was under the pen of Simek and Rosen, that it was 'heard'.
