DISGUISED AS CLARK KENT SC

  by Danny Fingeroth
Many creators of the most famous superheroes came from Jewish backgrounds - secular, religious, or both. In Disguised as Clark Kent, Danny Fingeroth explores how the Jewish consciousness of these individuals had an effect on the content of the comics and contributed to making characters such as Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, and Wonder Woman into the most familiar pop-culture icons of all time. The creators interviewed for this book bring valuable insights into the fantasies that fuel the imagination, the entertainment industry, as well as many signficant, and often hidden, aspects of society.
