Details | Since the first Superman comic was published in 1938, there has been a persistent fascination with superheroes. Today, we see them everywhere: television, movies, comics, toys, and anywhere else one can think of. Jews have played an important role in superhero culture, both as characters and creators. Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage for a program exploring Jewish superheroes with comic book writers Chris Claremont (Marvel’s The Uncanny X-Men) and Marguerite Bennett (DC Bombshells), along with editor Danny Fingeroth (Marvel’s Spiderman Comics Line). They will be in conversation with journalist Abraham Riesman, author of True Believer: The Rise and Fall of Stan Lee. Register here. A $10 suggested donation helps the Museum of Jewish Heritage to present programs like this one. They thank you for your support. Public programming at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living
Memorial to the Holocaust is made possible, in part, by public funds
from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership

support of Governor Kathy C. Hochul and the New York State Legislature; a
Humanities New York CARES Grant with support from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and the federal CARES Act; and other
