There's Somthing About Ben (King Kirby 029)


You know who Jack Kirby liked? Jack liked Ben Grimm. Oh, yes - The King loved The Thing. Publicly, he identified himself with Ben, which makes perfect sense. Ben Grimm, the scrapped with the pure heart who often finds himself the moral core of the team. But Jack just plain had fun with Ben:


Ben makes great Convention Art, with or without the Doctor's help 


Yes, that's Little Ben Fauntleroy. (youngsters, look up Little Lord Fauntleroy) If that's too dated for you, how about some cowboy Ben?


Even Holiday Ben:


Cave dweller me is rather fond of Ben & Friend here:







Thanks, Jack.
