In his autobiography, Simon recalled in his autobiography that Timely comics publisher Martin Goodman gave him the go-ahead and directed that a Captain America solo comic book series be published as soon as possible. Simon recalled that he did not believe that his regular creative partner, artist Jack Kirby,. could handle the workload alone. Simon said Captain America had a good sound to it. There weren’t a lot of captains in comics. It was as easy as that. The boy companion was simply named Bucky, after my friend Bucky Pierson, a star on our high school basketball team. Simon said he wrote the first Captain America book with penciled lettering right on the drawing boards, with very rough sketches for figures and backgrounds. If they worked on it, and if one inker tied the three styles together, I believed the final product would emerge as quite uniform. I assured Jack Kirby he was still number one, Jack,\” I assured him. \”It’s just a matter of a quick deadline for the first issue. \”I’ll make the deadline,\” Jack promised. “I acceded to Kirby’s wishes and, it turned out to be lucky that I did. \”There might have been two Als, but there was only one Jack Kirby… but I hadn’t expected this kind of reaction …” Simon said.
