mundosdepapel:gehayi:ladyloveandjustice:truejew:snakegays:thinkherenow:truejew:Comic books are Jewish-American cultureAnd never forget that one of the reasons so many Jewish-Americans contributed to comics is because of the antisemitism in much of the creative sector in 20th century America. Many of these highly skilled and creative people ended up in comics because they couldn’t find work in more prestigious and lucrative fields.also the same reason so many of them worked in the motion picture industry when it first began; working in film wasnt a respected line of work, so it kinda became a jewish culture, and when film unexpectedly caught on, upper-middle class white christians were quick to erase the jewish influence that the film industry had.also similar to the reason why so many jews in the past millennium worked in finance- in the 1100s it was considered sinful in the christian church to handle large amounts of money, so banking in western Europe was kind of the only profession in which Jews were guaranteed a secure income. because banking was a Jewish thing because it was sinful, when it became a respected profession, the upper-middle class and elites were quick to smear the Jewish involvement in banking as an evil conspiracy to control the worldnice addition thank u^✡️gonna add real quick that two Jewish men actually created Batman. Bill Finger was uncredited for years, but he is responsible for Batman’s look, backstory, personality,, setting etc. Bob Kane is responsible for the name and that’s pretty much it.“In fact, nearly all the great superheroes were created by Jews: Jerry Siegel and Joe (Joseph) Shuster created Superman, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby (Jacob Kurtzberg) created Captain America, Bob Kane (Robert Kahn) and Bill Finger invented Batman, while Kirby, together with Stan Lee (Stanley Martin Lieber) produced a particularly impressive line of heroes such as Spider-Man, The Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, the X-Men, Thor and the Avengers.“ –Supermensches.And more superheroes than those had at least one Jewish creator. For example…Aquaman? Created by Paul Norris (not Jewish) and Mort Weisinger (the son of Austrian Jewish parents) in November 1941.The original Batgirl (spelled Bat-Girl), Betty Kane? Created by Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff in 1961.Dick Grayson, a.k.a. the original Robin? Created by Bob Kane, Bill Finger and Jerry Robinson in 1940. And yes, Robinson was also Jewish.Green Arrow? Co-created by artist George Papp (not Jewish) and writer Mort Weisinger.Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern? Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell (the son of Jewish immigrants).Wolverine? Created by artist John Romita Sr. (who’s Italian) and writer Len Wein (who’s Jewish).Jubilee of the X-Men? Created by artist Marc Silvestri and writer Chris Claremont. Claremont is Jewish on his mother’s side.Black Canary? Created by artist Carmine Infantino and writer Robert Kanigher (son of Romanian Jewish parents) in 1947.Sam Wilson, a.k.a the Falcon, and Captain America in some continuities? Stan Lee and Gene Colan (whose family name was originally “Cohen”).T’Challa, the Black Panther? Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby.It’s surprising how many superheroes have Jewish roots.I’m surprised nobody has mentioned this already but a jewish man also invented what we now call graphic novels. His name is Will Eisner and the most prestigious comic book awards were named after him. He drew the Spirit comics as well as many graphic novels like A Contract with God, New York: The Big City and many many more. He also wrote and illustrated two books about making comics and sequential art. He was a fucking genius of visual narrative, character design and ripping your heart out with his stories. -- source link
