It's been 70 years since the Man of Steel first sprang forth from the imaginations of Jewish writers Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Now the Jewish Museum of Florida has a new exhibit on display called Zap! Pow! Bam! The Superhero: The Golden Age of Comic Books 1938-1950 about the fascinating, and Jewcy, history of the comic book industry. If you're not headed to Miami any time soon, take a look at the Miami Herald's informative review of the exhibit, as well as a slide show of some featured comic book covers.

It's a great exhibition. I saw it about a year and a half ago in New York City at the Jewish Museum.
