Why no love for Joe Simon?

Totally agree. he was a huge creative force behind timely. He had the orginal idea for Captain America and thats the Comic/Character that REALLY put Timely in the game with Fox, Dc, Archie and more.

Super under appreciated!

I wasn’t trying to get into that debate, just wanted to keep the record straight; I wasn't sure how that post was meant to be taken. I imagine there’s people out there who may not realize he started out as the office gopher.

As opposed to what? Starting at the top? I imagine Joe Simons first job consisted of emptying ashtrays and cleaning up ink smudges. I doubt any thinking person thought 

Stan started as Editor in Chief and all around bon vivant.

Yep.  Jack Kirby literally was Joe Simon's junior partner back then.
