Anyway, marvel had to make up for that horrible Zarba character or whoever she is (the israli Cap. America). Wow, major bad stereotyping there (sweet christmas).

Sam (and others, like Furie, who might be interested),
There's a wonderful Jack Kirby drawing that hung over his mantle, that is reproduced on page 62 of the 1988 Final Edition Jack Kirby Checklist, of The Thing dressed as a rabbi thus proving, while never officially divulged, this revelation brought out into the open an element of The Thing that was always part of his creators' vision for him.
This book also contains an enormous amount of head sketches of most of The King's famous characters: Black Panther, Captain America, Thor, Devil Dinosaur, The Demon, Newsboy Legion, Jimmy Olsen and Superman, Darkseid, The Hulk and many others (including a beautiful drawing of Roz, Jack's wife).
