Steve Broder worked for the Iger Shop doing the Kinks Mason feature for Fiction House appearing from 1940 to 1941.
Broder was primarily a commercial artist during his career and, with the exception of about 1938 to about 1941 time period where he worked in New York City, Steve worked in San Francisco from the 1920s until he retired in the 1970s. Steve Broder's work included doing World War II propaganda posters for the war effort through the Office of War Information (OWI).
Broder states his birth year as 1905 on his 1940 Draft Registration Card, however, nearly all other public records, including his death records, give 1906 as the birth year. His 1938 marriage certificate gives 1904 as the birth year which is confirmed by the original Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection). All records stated Broder was born on August 4th, but Drouin Collection lists it as August 1st. Preference given to the original birth documentation which was recorded at the time of birth.
