Timeline

2003

Greg Sadowski's book B. Krigstein, Vol. 1 won the Harvey Award for Best Biographical, Historical, or Journalistic Presentation in 2003, and was also nominated for the Harvey Special Award for Excellence in Presentation in 2003. The book also won the 2003 Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Publication (Periodical or Book).

1992

Krigstein was posthumously inducted into the comic book industry's Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 2003.

1962

As Krigstein told a 1962 interviewer, "It's what happens between these panels that's so fascinating. Look at all that dramatic action that one never gets a chance to see. It's between these panels that the fascinating stuff takes place. And unless the artist would be permitted to delve into that, the form must remain infantile."

1960

In the early 1960s, Krigstein left comics in order to draw and paint illustrations for magazines, book jackets (notably, the first edition of Richard Condon's The Manchurian Candidate) and record albums, eventually turning away from commercial assignments in order to focus on fine art. In 1962, he took a position at the High School of Art and Design in Manhattan, where he taught for 20 years.

1959

Lloyd Alexander's novel, Border Hawk: August Bondi won the National Jewish Books Award for Children's Literature in 1959.

1955

Krigstein's best-known work in comic books is editor Al Feldstein's story "Master Race", originally published in the debut issue (April 1955) of EC Comics' Impact. The protagonist is a former Nazi death camp commandant named Reissman who had managed to elude justice until he is spotted ten years later riding the New York City Subway. This story was remarkable for its subject matter, since the Holocaust was rarely discussed in popular media of the 1950s, as indicated by the controversy that same year surrounding Alain Resnais's Night and Fog (1955).

1952

In 1952, Krigstein spearheaded an effort by himself and fellow comics artists Arthur Peddy, George Evans and Edd Ashe to found the comics industry's short-lived attempt at a labor union, The Society of Comic Book Illustrators. Peddy served as vice president under Krigstein, with Harry Harrison as secretary, Larry Woromay as treasurer, and Ross Andru, Ernie Bache, John Celardo, Morrie Marcus and Bernard Sachs as members-at-large. The organization went defunct shortly after publication of its third and final newsletter in June 1953. Krigstein began getting less work from his two mainstays — National Comics (the future DC Comics) and Atlas Comics (the future Marvel Comics). But during his presidency of the Society, the politically like-minded publisher of EC Comics, William Gaines, began giving him work (heeding the advice of editor Harvey Kurtzman). At EC, Krigstein "would produce the most acclaimed stories of his career between 1953 and 1955."

1949

Krigstein's wife, Natalie, wrote romance comics. They had a daughter, Cora, in 1949.

1943

Born in Brooklyn, New York City to a Jewish household, Krigstein studied art at Brooklyn College. Krigstein's earliest confirmed work in comics is penciling and inking the 10-page, patriotic "kid gang" feature "The Liberty Lads" in Harvey Comics' Champ Comics #25 (cover-dated April 1943). He went on to draw for Harvey and for Prize Comics through 1943, during the period fans and historians call the Golden Age of Comic Books. Following his service in World War II, he returned to comic books in 1945, working for publishers including Fawcett Comics (1947–48), Novelty/Premium/Curtis (1947), and Hillman Periodicals (1948-51).
