"Disguised As Clark Kent: Jews, Comics, and the Creation of the Superhero" with Dan Fingeroth
In his book, "Disguised As Clark Kent," author Dan Fingeroth, explores the backgrounds of the most well-known superheroes and their creators-largely young American Jewish men from Eastern European backgrounds. Explore how these creators' Jewish backgrounds helped make superheroes the most familiar popular-culture icons of all, far beyond the comic books that spawned them on TV, in movies, in electronic media and in our very ideas about what it means to be a hero. Books will be available for signing.
Requested donation for any of the above events is $12.00 for members/$15.00 for non-members.
