Here is stunning evidence that Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colón, with more than sixty years of experience in the comic-book industry between them, were right: far, far too few Americans have read, grasped, and demanded action on the Commission's investigation into the events of that tragic day and the lessons America must learn. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUsing every skill and storytelling method Jacobson and Colón have learned over the decades, they have produced the most accessible version of the 9\/11 Report. Jacobson's text frequently follows word for word the original report, faithfully captures its investigative thoroughness, and covers its entire scope, even including the Commission's final report card. Colón's stunning artwork powerfully conveys the facts, insights, and urgency of the original.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor more than thirty years, \u003cb\u003e Sid Jacobson\u003c\/b\u003e (1929-2022) was the managing editor and editor in chief for Harvey Comics, the publisher of \u003ci\u003eCasper the Friendly Ghost\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWendy the Good Little Witch\u003c\/i\u003e, where he created the character of Richie Rich.
