Biography
Born in Austria-Hungary, Binder emigrated to America in 1910, where he settled with his parents and five siblings in Chicago.
During the 1930s, Jack Binder wrote and drew the comic Zarnak by Max Plaisted, a Jack Binder pseudonym, which appeared in Thrilling Wonder Stories magazine.
Moving to New York City, Binder worked for three years for the Harry "A" Chesler studio, one of the early comic-book "packagers" that supplied complete comics on demand for publishers entering the new medium. Binder left the Chesler studio in 1940 as the firm's art director.
In the early 1940s Binder drew for Fawcett Comics, Lev Gleason Publications, and Timely Comics; during this period he created the Golden Age character Daredevil (not to be confused with the Marvel character of the same name) for an eight-page backup feature in Lev Gleason Publications' Silver Streak #6 (Sept. 1940), and along with Stan Lee, co-created the Destroyer in Timely's Mystic Comics #6 (Oct. 1941).
