Thursday: Jews and American Comics

Published Nov 17 2008, 01:36 PM by Ian Donnis

This Brown University event sounds like a winner:

As part of the opening celebrations for the student-curated exhibition Jews and American Comics: The New Generations, famed comic artist and director of the Center for Cartoon Studies, James Sturm, will give a keynote address and participate in a panel discussion that will explore Jewish themes in comics strips and comic books, and the ways that Jews have shaped this popular American art form. The panel will also include Jason Lutes, a 1991 RISD graduate and artist of the renowned "Berlin Series," and Sara Rosenbaum ’00, a former comic artist and former Providence Journal staff writer. This event begins at 5 p.m. in Salomon Center for Teaching, Room 001. A reception and the exhibit opening will follow immediately at 6:30 p.m. at the John Nicholas Brown Center, 357 Benefit St.

When I was a kid my Jewish mom routinely tossed my comics in the garbage.She thought they were "trash".I could probably pay off my house on some of those today-like Marvel Mystery Comics from the 40's,Mad#1,Detective Comics#2,and Captain America,etc.I ddi enjoy them before they went off to the Canarsie dump however.
