This is to mean not just the fact that many of the creators were themselves jewish but that many of the stories themselves have messages that resonate with the recent jewish immigrants to america shortly before the time of the second world war

By a quirk of curious timing harry brods book on the jewish roots of several american comic book superheroes appeared in print just a few months after larry tyes book superman the highflying history of americas most enduring hero where the titles might imply some sort of competitive collision between the two books which is not necessarily the case

In the case of brods book his cheeky and snarky title does not imply that his own book is only about the single character of superman not at all

Likewise brods treatment of other aspects of comic book history touch on how not just past cultural and religious history but also economic circumstances led to such a striking jewish influence early on in the history of american comics
