A legend, born a soldier from the horseback to the skies
More coming soon because I want to do it justice, especially for Kanigher since there appears to be little for him online. But I'll try lol. For now, I've basically transcribed the biographies found in The Enemy Ace Archives Vols. 1 and 2, published in 2002 and 2006. Since both volumes have different biographies, with some shared information, I've basically combined both into one for each creator, with the obvious addendum for Kubert.

Robert Kanigher
Born on June 18, 1915, Robert Kanigher has long been recognized as one of the most prolific and innovative writers and editors in the comic book field. After writing for magazines, theater and radio during the 1930s, he began his comics career at Fox Features Syndicate in 1940, working on such features as Blue Beetle, Samson and the Bouncer. Hired as a scripter by DC Comics in 1946, Kanigher was quickly promoted to editor and given the responsibility of editing and scripting the iconic character Wonder Woman, whose creator and writer, William Moulton Marston, had recently died. More assignments followed, and over the next four decades Kanigher would eventually write stories for nearly every major DC character in addition to creating many new ones, including Black Canary and the Silver Age incarnation of the Flash.
In 1952, Kanigher became the editor on DC's five main war titles (G.I. COMBAT, OUR ARMY AT WAR, OUR FIGHTING FORCES, ALL-AMERICAN MEN OF WAR, and STAR-SPANGLED WAR STORIES). His run on these books--which included the creation of Sgt. Rock, Enemy Ace, the Unknown Soldier and the Haunted Tank--would become legendary. Kanigher retired from editing in 1968, but over the next 20 years he continued to script Sgt. Rock, the Haunted Tank and countless other features in nearly every genre of the medium, including western and romance, ensuring his legacy as one of the most productive comic book writers ever to work in the industry. He passed away on May 6, 2002.

Joe Kubert
Born in 1926, Joe Kubert began his comics career at the age of eleven as an apprentice for Harry "A" Chesler, a comic book production house. He has worked in the field ever since, and in his more than sixty years in the field he has produced countless memorable stories for countless characters, including DC's Hawkman, Tarzan, Enemy Ace, Batman, and the Flash. He also edited, wrote, and illustrated the DC title SGT. ROCK, which, beginning under its original titie OUR ARMY AT WAR, Kubert contributed to for thirty years.
In 1952, Kubert was a principal player in the creation of the first 3-D comic book (Three Dimension Comics Vol. 1, No. 1), and his pioneering development of 3-D comics continued with the early appearances of what would become his best-known creation--a heroic caveman named Tor and his adventures "One Million Years Ago." Kubert was also one of the first creators to embrace the long-form version of comics that became known as graphic novels, with his first two works in this medium being a graphic novel of Tor and the war adventure Abraham Stone. In addition, he worked as the artist on the newspaper strip Tales of the Green Berets in the 1960s. In 1996 he produced the award-winning graphic novel Fax from Sarajevo, a gripping graphic narrative that earned him accolades in the mainstream and trade press alike. He followed that success with two more historical graphic novels: Yossel: April 19, 1943 (2003) and Jew Gangster: A Father's Admonition (2005).
Kubert has also been a pioneer in the realm of comics education. In 1976, he, along with his wife Muriel, founded the first and only accredited school devoted to the art of cartoon graphics: The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art in Dover, New Jersey, which has since produced many of today's leading cartoonists. Pursuing this educational path further, in 1998 he established a series of correspondence courses under the banner of Joe Kubert's Wonderful World of Cartooning, and in 1999 Watson-Guptill published his Superheroes: Joe Kubert's Wonderful World of Comics, an instructional guidebook on the art of creating powerful comic book characters.
Joe Kubert and his wife, Muriel, lived in New Jersey. Muriel passed away on July 8 2008 of breast cancer at the age of 77, while four years later Kubert passed away on August 12, 2012 of multiple myeloma at the age of 85. At the time of her death, they had been married for 57 years.
Two of their five children, Adam and Andy, have achieved great popularity as comic book artists.
