The comic book superhero genre is one of the great American art forms of the 20th century, its impact on popular culture is immense and it continues to thrive through other media such as blockbuster movie franchises and video games, not to mention a new generation of comics and graphic novels.
It is widely acknowledged that the Golden Age of comic books was pioneered by Jewish Americans which included the likes of DC s Superman by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster or Marvel s legendary writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby who were behind some of the most enduring, iconic superhero characters to date; Spiderman, Captain America and the Hulk to name but a few.
