Chanukah is upon is and we celebrate the Festival of Lights with the King and the Thing …
The Kirbys’ 1976 Chanukah card
It’s not all that easy to come up with 13 Chanukah covers, y’know? It’s not like there are dozens of options to choose from. So putting my thinking yarmulke on, it hit me — or should I say, it clobbered me: What better way to do it than with Ya’akov Kurtzburg’s Ben Grimm, the most prominent Jewish superhero?
So once you’ve finished carving last year’s wax out of the menorah, light fresh candles, spin a dreidel — and check out these 13 COVERS!
