His work on <em>Captain America <\/em>and <em>Daredevil <\/em>strongly encouraged sales and hype on those titles and his creator-owned work, <em>Criminal <\/em>&#038; <em>Incognito<\/em>, have found large audiences, as well. <\/p>\n<p>But, back in 1987, Brubaker launched an ongoing title that never even made it to the second issue. It&#8217;s hard to imagine that happening today but, at the age of 21, this was Brubaker&#8217;s first published comics work.
