Brodsky worked primarily behind the scenes, uncredited. His accomplishments include co-creating, with letterer Artie Simek, the long-familiar logo of The Amazing Spider-Man,[4][lower-alpha 1] as well as other Marvel logos still in use in the mid-2000s. He was belatedly credited after decades as the inker of Jack Kirby's pencil art for The Fantastic Four #3–4 (March–May 1962) and many other landmark comics.
Lee described Brodsky as "my assistant for years and the company's production head. He could write, he could draw, he could ink — he could do everything."[7]
