70sscifiart: Jack Kirby’s family Hanukkah card (1976) [Image ID: A personalized holiday card with text and a drawing by Jack Kirby. The text is “Remembering you at Hanukkah and hoping you will find that your holiday leaves many special memories behind. Happy Hanukkah. The Kirbys.” Opposite the writing is an ink drawing of Ben Grimm, a k a The Thing, who is canonically Jewish. Ben is wearing a yamaka, prayer shawl, and formal attire while holding a book of prayers; a menorah with eight lit candles sits in the background. The phrase “אחולים לחנוכה”, which translates to “Happy Hanukkah” is printed on his collar, and Ben stares directly at the viewer with an expression that is both stoic and inviting. The tough, craggy design of the character blends surprisingly well with the softer elements of the drawing; a true testament to Jack Kirby’s skill.] -- source link
