From Krakow to Krypton: Jews and Comic Books
Arie Kaplan
Tuesday, May 12, 7:30 p.m.
$10 General; $8 Skirball Members; $6 Students
Immigrant Jews were involved in the creation of the first comic book, Superheroes, and graphic novel, and also helped to develop the underground comics (or “Comix”) movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. In this funny and revealing lecture, complete with film and video clips, comic book and MAD Magazine writer and cartoonist Arie Kaplan tells the stories of these Jewish comics pioneers and demonstrates how they brought a uniquely Jewish perspective to their work and to the comics industry as a whole.
