151A
Friday September 7, 2018 - 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm
This discussion panel will explore the impact of Jewish comic book authors and artists, from early innovators like Jack Kirby, Will Eisner, and Stan Lee to the creators behind modern graphic novels and web comics like Neil Gaiman or the team of Ehud Lavski and Yael Nathan. We'll consider the uses of Jewish mythology and archetypes, the Hebrew language, and other aspects of Jewish history and culture you may have overlooked in classic comics like Batman, Superman, Captain America, and many more!
