Liebowitz, Jacob S.
▪ 2001
“Jack” 
      Ukrainian-born American comic-book publisher (b. Oct. 10, 1900, Proskurov [now Khmelnytskyy], Ukraine—d. Dec. 11, 2000, Great Neck, N.Y.), sowed the seeds for what would become DC Comics when, in partnership with Harry Donenfeld, he created (1937) the comic-book series Detective Comics, which two years later launched the Batman line. In another of his series, Action Comics, the popular superhero Superman debuted (1938) after Liebowitz acquired the rights and licensing royalties from that character's two creators, a move that was ultimately worth millions of dollars to him; the two creators, however, were finally granted additional money in 1978, after many years of litigation.
