Here at Multiversity, we like to celebrate our Jewishness from time to time. Let’s face it – we don’t get to do it very often! But when we do, we might as well go all out, right? So for the Eight Nights of Hanukkah, we are going to present to you a Jewish super hero or villain that we greatly appreciate here at Multiversity Comics.
For the eighth and final night, we’ve opted to switch gears and instead of highlighting a Jewish character, we’d instead like to honor some of the creators that separate their milk from their dairy (maybe) and dance the Hora when the mood strikes them.
For the record, this includes…
Ralph Bakshi, Brian Michael Bendis, Dave Berg, Sol Brodsky, Al Capp, Roz Chast, Howard Chaykin, Daniel Clowes, Gene Colan, Sophie Crumb, Peter David, Kim Deitch, Will Elder, Will Eisner, Miriam Engelberg, Jules Feiffer, Lyonel Feininger, Al Feldstein, Bill Finger, Dave Fleischer, Max Fleischer, Friz Freleng, Max Gaines, William Gaines, Leo Garel, Rube Goldberg, Steve Greenberg, Milt Gross, Allan Heinberg, Herblock, Harry Hershfield, Al Hirschfeld, Al Jaffee, Bob Kane, Gil Kane, Jack Kirby, Neil Kleid, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Adam Kubert, Andy Kubert, Joe Kubert, Harvey Kurtzman, Mell Lazarus, Stan Lee, Jeph Loeb, Robert Mankoff, Clifford Meth, Josh Neufeld, Martin Nodell, Paul Palnik, Harvey Pekar, Rachel Pollack, Trina Robbins, Julius Schwartz, Joe Shuster, Jerome Siegel, Joe Simon, Art Spiegelman, William Steig, Saul Steinberg, Hilda Terry, Lauren Weinstein, Mort Weisinger, Morris Weiss, Judd Winick, Marv Wolfman, and Zeke Zekley.
See some familiar names on there? Like, maybe some responsible for the birth and continued existence of this little medium we love so dearly? Thought so.
Happy Hanukkah Folks!
Shalom, fanboys. You owe us BIG TIME. Love, The Jews
