So, it’s not enough that Jack “King” Kirby had to make with the racist portrait of the Japanese on the cover, but he had to do it with the idea that America’s Great White Shining Hope was going to be portrayed by…The Twinkle Twins? That’s what the Liberty Lads thought needed defending against the great Yellow Menance? Really, throw ‘em to the Nipponese hordes - we don’t want them.
He was made of fuckin’ iron, our King.
(I should find out if Dr. Miracle stories are available anywhere - I like the name quite a lot. It looks like he doesn’t crop up in any of the Golden Age Mystery Men reprints that AC puts out, though. It may require some searchin’.)
