Cold Times Require New Heroes

1961 was a testy time. The Cold War, Bay of Pigs, and JFK’s encouragement for families to build bomb shelters made for an unsettling year. It was the perfect opportunity for a hero. A new hero. One with rock-like skin to deflect missiles, a great sense of humor to put others at ease, and a great battle cry to be remembered by……

The Thing (aka Benjamin Jacob “Ben” Grimm) was introduced in November 1961 by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in The Fantastic Four #1. With his rough exterior and baby blues, The Thing went on to become one of the most popular comic book heroes of all time.
