The chapter from Arie Kaplan's From Krakow to Krypton that we read for this week is about the origin of the comic books and what Jewish folk had to do with this. I found this article a very interesting and it was something that I did not want to put down once I started reading. The reading was very interesting to me because, even though I am not a avid comic book fan, most of the people mentioned in this book were familiar names to me, and it was a very interesting to read about how the comic books industry came to be. One thing that I found particularly interesting was that the industry was started by Jewish people and they were the majority of the people working in the industry through out the golden age. I was entirely unaware of this, but that seems understandable given how many of the big players during the origin and golden age of comics had changed their name's to sound less Jewish. One thing that strikes me as odd about them changing their names, is that many of them went under a few different aliases to makes their publishing companies seem bigger, so why they want to change their actual names when they could just use aliases that were not Jewish names.
