UP, UP, AND OY VEY! Question from Relapsed Catholic:
My oldish article “Up, up, and oy vey” originated as a Toronto Star piece, and is my most reprinted article.
It also just got me a job, editing a NY rabbi’s book about the Jewish influence on comic books, particularly Golden Age superhero comics. No, I’m not Jewish (although I get that a lot) and no, I don’t own a single comic book. Just another day (or in this case, couple of months) in the life of a professional writer.
Because of “Up, up and oy vey”, readers still send me links to articles about comic books and religion. You can too. Right now I’m working on the Captain America chapter, and have pretty much exhausted Google.
Don’t go out of your way, but if you happen upon obscure stuff about Captain America, and his creator Jack Kirby’s Jewish heritage, you’re welcome to forward them to me.
