Comic book artist Rich Buckler has died at the age of 68.
I am not much of comic book guy (although I am a big fan of the Marvel films). So why am I dedicating a post to Rich?
Because he is responsible for two of the most identifiably Jewish heroes in comics: The Thing (real name: Benjamin Jacob Grimm) of the Fantastic Four, and Sabra (real name: Ruth Bat-Seraph), the national superheroine of Israel.
I know what your next question is: was Rich Jewish?
RIP Rich.
