I don't think Stan or Jack bothered about who was supposed to be what in that regard.

That close-up cover and splash page of Ben Grimm looks very Kirbyesque in style to me - exactly like Kirby used to draw him, perhaps it's just my imagination though. In recent years I've discovered that Ben is supposed to be Jewish - he had a long overdue Bar Mitzvah (or something) in one issue I read. Was this ever mentioned in the '60s/'70s as I don't remember anything about it. Perhaps it was supposed to be obvious and it just went over my head.....?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
