Jewish Images in the Comics: A Visual History

A single-issue volume from Fantagraphics, Jewish Images in the Comics: A Visual History (2012) is a scholarly survey that examines the portrayal of Jewish characters and themes in American comic strips and comic books. With text by Fredrik Strömberg, the book collects and contextualizes a wide range of examples, from early 20th-century newspaper comics to modern graphic novels, offering a visual chronicle of cultural representation. Its value lies in documenting how Jewish identity has been both stereotyped and celebrated across decades of the medium.
