  "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.
