SUMMARY:Maltz Museum Explores Jewish Influence in 20th-Century Comics in Ne
 w Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:\nThu 5/7-Sun 8/23\nIt’s surprising — or maybe it isn’t 
 — how many significant comics creators were/are Jewish. Everyone knows\,
  of course\, about Cleveland’s Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster\, who create
 d Superman while students at Glenville High School\, then located in a hea
 vily Jewish neighborhood. But there are also such creators as American Spl
 endor’s Harvey Pekar\, Brian Michael Bendis of Ultimate Spider-Man\, Pet
 er Kuper (Spy vs. Spy)\, and Terri Libenson (The Pajama Diaries). And thos
 e are just the ones from Cleveland!\nSo there’s plenty of material to fu
 el a big exhibit such as the Maltz Museum’s Icons in Ink: The Jewish Com
 ics Experience\, which opens this week and runs through August 23. It exp
 lores the growth of comics of the last century\, including how they were i
 nfluenced by Jewish identity and how they looked at difficult subjects suc
 h as anti-Semitism and the Holocaust.\nIt’s a huge show\, a 4\,000-squar
 e-foot exhibition displaying more than 100 original artworks\, vintage com
 ic books\, and historical artifacts\, such as Siegel’s writing desk\, pr
 ovided by both publishers and private collectors\, many on view for the fi
 rst time. It includes a special section called “Cleveland: Home of Heroe
 s!” which spotlights the artists and authors mentioned above and the ro
 le Cleveland played in comics history. And there’s also an interactive 
 “laboratory” space where visitors can design their own comics\, don co
 stumes and props to pose in a photo booth\, and draw on shared walls.\nGo 
 here for more information and tickets\, as well a special eents during the
  show’s run.\nmaltzmuseum/icons-in-ink/\n[mappress mapid="12"]
