 | | Jack Cole, whose comic-book career started a year before that Golden Age and ended precisely with it, was born in December, 1914, in the small coal-mining and industrial town of New Castle, in western Pennsylvania. |
 | | Jack, the third of six children, was introspective, imaginative, high-spirited, and graced with a pronounced sense of humor. |
 | | Cole's first sustained work for Quality was "Midnight," a feature intended by the pragmatic Arnold as a clone of "The Spirit"—just in case Eisner, who was in the unique position of owning his own character, were to be drafted and die or otherwise leave Quality. |
