In brief
Liebowitz came to comics as a numbers man and stayed as an owner. The characters were other people's dreams; the company was his and Donenfeld's.
Jack Liebowitz was born Yacov Lebovitz in Proskuriv, present-day Khmelnytsky, Ukraine in October 1900, to a Jewish family.
He lived a full century. The logo on the spine outlived both partners.
