In his introduction to his [[graphic novel]] ''Yossel'', Kubert wrote, "I got my first paying job as a cartoonist for comic books when I was eleven-and-a-half or twelve years old. Five dollars a page.

==Career==
===Early career===
Kubert's first known professional job was penciling and inking the six-page story "Black-Out", starring the character Volton,<ref>{{Gcdb issue|id=2053|title=Cat-Man Comics #v2#13}}</ref> in [[Holyoke Publishing]]'s ''[[Cat-Man and Kitten|Catman Comics]]'' #8 (March 1942; also listed as vol. 2, #13). He would continue drawing the feature for the next three issues, and was soon doing similar work for [[Fox Feature Syndicate|Fox Comics]]' ''[[Blue Beetle]]''.<ref name=gcd>{{gcdb|type=credit|search=Joe+Kubert}}</ref> Branching into additional art skills, he began [[colorist|coloring]] the [[Quality Comics]] reprints of future industry legend [[Will Eisner]]'s ''[[Spirit (comics character)|The Spirit]]'', a seven-page comics feature that originally ran as part of a newspaper [[Sunday comics|Sunday supplement]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/joe-kubert-prolific-comic-book-artist-whose-work-captured-the-chaotic-dirty-business-of-war-8061279.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220609/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/joe-kubert-prolific-comic-book-artist-whose-work-captured-the-chaotic-dirty-business-of-war-8061279.html |archive-date=2022-06-09 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live|title=Obituary - Joe Kubert: Prolific comic-book artist whose work captured the chaotic, dirty business of war|last=Carlson|first=Michael|date=2012-08-20|website=The Independent|access-date=2019-09-13}}</ref>

===1940s and 1950s===
Kubert's first work for [[DC Comics]], where he would spend much of his career and produce some of his most notable art. Throughout the decade, Kubert's art would appear in comics from [[Fiction House]], [[Avon (publishers)|Avon]], and [[Harvey Comics]], but he worked primarily for All-American and DC.<ref name=gcd /> Kubert's long association with the [[Hawkman]] character began with the story "A Hot Time in the Old Town" in ''The Big All-American Comic Book'' (1944).<ref>{{harvnb|Wallace|2010|page= 49}}: "Artist Joe Kubert began his most memorable work on the gravity-defying superhero Hawkman in this issue...'The Painter and the $100,000' written by Gardner Fox marked the start of a long and fruitful run between illustrator and character."</ref> Kubert drew several Hawkman stories in that title as well as in ''[[All Star Comics]]''.<ref>{{cite book|last = Thomas|first = Roy|author-link = Roy Thomas|chapter= The Men (and One Woman) Behind the JSA: Its Creation and Creative Personnel|title = All-Star Companion Volume 1|publisher = [[TwoMorrows Publishing]]|year= 2000|location= Raleigh, North Carolina|page = 30|isbn = 1-893905-055}}</ref> He and [[Irwin Hasen]] drew the debut of the [[Injustice Society]] in ''All Star Comics'' #37 (Oct. 1947) in a tale written by [[Robert Kanigher]].<ref>{{harvnb|Wallace|2010|page= 56}}: "In Robert Kanigher's story, featuring art by Irwin Hasen and Joe Kubert, a cabal of villains united as the Injustice Society of the World and took revenge on the JSA's assembled do-gooders."</ref> The Kanigher/Kubert team created the [[List of Flash enemies#Thorn|Thorn]] in ''[[Flash Comics]]'' #89 (Nov. 1947).<ref>{{harvnb|Wallace|2010|page= 57}}: "Writer Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert presented a female twist on Robert Louis Stevenson's ''Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde'' with the Thorn."</ref>

In the 1950s, he became managing editor of [[St. John Publications]], where he, his old classmate [[Norman Maurer]], and Norman's brother, Leonard Maurer, produced the first [[Stereoscopy|3-D]] comic books,<ref name=CCM>{{cite journal|title = WonderCon Special Guests|journal = Comic-Con Magazine|pages = 20|publisher = [[San Diego Comic-Con International]]|date = Winter 2010|url = https://issuu.com/comic-con/docs/ccmag_winter2010|access-date = February 21, 2020|archive-date = March 14, 2016|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160314205231/https://issuu.com/comic-con/docs/ccmag_winter2010|url-status = dead}}</ref> starting with ''Three Dimension Comics'' #1 (Sept. 1953 oversize format, Oct. 1953 standard-size reprint), featuring [[Mighty Mouse]].<ref name=gcd /> According to Kubert, it sold a remarkable 1.2 million copies at 25 cents apiece at a time when comics cost a dime.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.universohq.com/Quadrinhos/interview_kubert01.cfm |title=Joe Kubert Interview: A Myth in the World of Comics |publisher=UniversoHQ.com |date=c. 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124033248/http://www.universohq.com/quadrinhos/interview_kubert01.cfm |archive-date=November 24, 2010 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}</ref>

At St. John, writer Norman Maurer and artist Kubert created the enduring character [[Tor (comics)|Tor]], a [[prehistoric]]-human protagonist who debuted in the comic ''1,000,000 Years Ago'' (Sept. 1953). Tor immediately went on to star in ''3-D Comics'' #2-3 (Oct.-Nov. 1953), followed by a titular, traditionally 2-D comic-book series, written and drawn by Joe Kubert, that premiered with issue #3 (May 1954). The character has since appeared in series from [[Eclipse Comics]], [[Marvel Comics]]' [[Epic Comics|Epic]] imprint, and DC Comics through at least the 1990s.<ref name=gcd /> Kubert in the late 1950s unsuccessfully attempted to sell ''Tor'' as a [[Comic strip|newspaper comic strip]]. The ''Tor'' samples consisted of 12 daily strips, reprinted in six pages in ''[[Alter Ego (magazine)|Alter Ego]]'' vol. 3 #10 and later expanded to 16 pages in DC Comics' ''Tor'' #1. He contributed work to Avon Periodicals, where he did science-fiction stories for ''[[Strange Worlds (Avon Comics)|Strange Worlds]]'' and other titles.<ref name=gcd />

For [[EC Comics]], Kubert drew a few stories for [[Harvey Kurtzman]]'s ''[[Two-Fisted Tales]]'' alongside EC stalwarts [[Wally Wood]], [[Jack Davis (cartoonist)|Jack Davis]], and [[John Severin]].

===DC Comics and Sgt. Rock===
Beginning with ''Our Army at War'' #32 (March 1955), Kubert began to freelance again for DC Comics, in addition to [[Lev Gleason Publications]] and [[Atlas Comics (1950s)|Atlas Comics]], the 1950s iteration of [[Marvel Comics]].<ref name=gcd /> By the end of the year he was drawing for DC exclusively. DC editor [[Julius Schwartz]] assigned Kubert, Robert Kanigher, and [[Carmine Infantino]] to the company's first attempt at reviving superheroes: an updated version of the [[Barry Allen|Flash]] that would appear in ''[[Showcase (comics)|Showcase]]'' #4 (Oct. 1956).<ref>{{harvnb|Levitz|2010|loc= "The Silver Age 1956-1970"|p= 251}}: "Together Schwartz, Kanigher, Infantino, and Kubert would set a tone for the Flash that was both cinematic... and influenced by Schwartz's first love of science fiction."</ref> The eventual success of the new, science fiction-oriented Flash heralded the wholesale return of superheroes, and the beginning of what fans and historians call the [[Silver Age of Comic Books]].<ref>{{harvnb|Irvine|2010|loc="1950s"|p= 80}}: "The arrival of the second incarnation of the Flash in [''Showcase''] issue #4 is considered to be the official start of the Silver Age of comics."</ref> In the coming years, Kubert would work on such characters as the medieval adventurer the [[Viking Prince]] and features starring [[Sgt.

He and writer [[Gardner Fox]] created a new version of [[Hawkman (Katar Hol)|Hawkman]] in ''[[The Brave and the Bold]]'' #34 (Feb.–March 1961) with the character receiving his own title three years later.<ref>{{harvnb|McAvennie|2010a|p= 102}}: "DC's... renaissance soared to new heights with the return of Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

Kubert provided art for several anniversary issues of key DC titles. He and writer [[Paul Levitz]] crafted a Hawkman story in ''Detective Comics'' #500 (March 1981).{{sfn|Manning|2010|p=193}}<ref>{{cite journal|last = Greenberger|first = Robert|author-link= Robert Greenberger|title = Memories of ''Detective Comics'' #500|journal = Back Issue!|issue = 69|pages = 54–57|publisher = TwoMorrows Publishing|date = December 2013|location= Raleigh, North Carolina}}</ref> Kubert was one of the artists on the double-sized ''[[Justice League of America]]'' #200 (March 1982)<ref>{{cite journal|last = Sanderson|first = Peter |author-link = Peter Sanderson|title = ''Justice League'' #200 All-Star Affair|journal= Comics Feature|issue = 12/13<!-- This was a double issue hence the #12/13 issue number-->|page = 17|publisher = [[New Media/Irjax|New Media Publishing]]|date = September–October 1981}}</ref> as well as ''[[Batman (comic book)|Batman]]'' #400 (Oct. 1986).<ref>{{harvnb|Manning|2010|p= 221}}: "Batman celebrated the 400th issue of his self-titled comic with a blockbuster featuring dozens of famous comic book creators and nearly as many infamous villains.

He wrote and drew a collection of faith-based comic strips beginning in the late 1980s for [[Tzivos Hashem]], the [[Lubavitch]] children's organization, and ''Moshiach Times'' magazine. The stories, "The Adventures of Yaakov and Isaac", were based on biblical references but were not Bible stories.<ref name="Lambiek" />

Kubert made a return to writing and drawing in 1991 with the Abraham Stone graphic novel ''Country Mouse, City Rat'' for [[Malibu Comics]]' Platinum Editions. He returned to the character for two more stories, ''Radix Malorum'' and ''The Revolution'' published by [[Epic Comics]] in 1995.

Also for Epic Comics, he delivered the four-issue ''Tor'' miniseries in 1993. ''[[Fax from Sarajevo]]'', initially released as a 207-page hardcover book in 1996<ref>{{cite book|last = Kubert|first = Joe|title = Fax from Sarajevo|publisher = [[Dark Horse Comics]]|year = 1996|location = Milwaukie, Oregon|pages = [https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781569711439/page/207 207]|isbn = 978-1569711439|url = https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781569711439/page/207}}</ref> and two years later as a 224-page [[Trade paperback (comics)|trade paperback]] was published by [[Dark Horse Comics]].<ref>{{cite book|last = Kubert|first = Joe|title = Fax from Sarajevo|publisher = Dark Horse Comics|year = 1998|location = Milwaukie, Oregon|pages = [https://archive.org/details/faxfromsarajevo00joek/page/224 224]|isbn = 978-1569713464|url = https://archive.org/details/faxfromsarajevo00joek/page/224}}</ref> The non-fiction book originated as a series of faxes from European comics agent [[Ervin Rustemagić]] during the [[Army of Republika Srpska|Serbian]] [[siege of Sarajevo]]. Rustemagić and his family, whose home and possessions in suburban [[Dobrinja]] were destroyed, spent two-and-a-half years in a ruined building, communicating with the outside world via [[fax]] when they could. Friend and client Kubert was one recipient. Collaborating long-distance, they collected Rustemagić's account of life during wartime, with Kubert and editor Bob Cooper turning the raw faxes into a somber comics tale.

Kubert drew the first issue of [[Stan Lee]]'s ''[[Just Imagine...]]'' limited series (2001)<ref>{{harvnb|Cowsill|2010|loc="2000s"|p=300}}: "The series consisted of thirteen prestige format books and started with Batman, drawn by art legend Joe Kubert."</ref> and two pencil-illustrated [[graphic novel]]s, ''Yossel: April 19, 1943'' (2003) and ''Jew Gangster'' (2005), for IBooks.
