Biography

Joseph F. Poland, a renowned writer, was born on September 4, 1892, in Waterbury, Connecticut, a city located in the New England region of the United States.

He was a writer, best known for his work on several notable comic book series, including Captain America, which was first published in 1944.

In addition to Captain America, Poland was also responsible for creating Scouts to the Rescue, a comic book series that debuted in 1939, as well as Manhunt of Mystery Island, which was first published in 1945.

Throughout his life, Poland was married multiple times, first to Zoe Thomas Poland, then to Elizabeth Louise Mayo, followed by Mildred A Francis, Tea Mayo, Zoe B. (Thomas) Weil, and finally Mildred A. Francis once again.

Tragically, Joseph F. Poland passed away on March 23, 1962, in Los Angeles, California, a city located in the southwestern United States.

Despite his passing, Poland's legacy lives on through his work, which continues to be enjoyed by fans of comic books and pulp fiction to this day.
