Nicole Hollander

Here's a great interview with a female Jewish graphic artist-- Nicole Hollander. It's also a good example of how "Jewishness" can be thought about in a variety of ways-- familial, community-- not just overtly religious ones.

The Gospel According to Superman and Postmodern Theology

This is not about Judaism, per se, but it is about comic books and religion: a recent post on one of my favorite blogs,  Killing the Buddha,  about an old book called The Gospel According to Superman, with further reflections using some theory and postmodern theology. It's an interesting read and it mentions an essay by Umberto Eco that I've really got to get sometime.
