  • The Jewish Comic Book Industry, 1933-1954
    “THE WHOLE FURSHLUGGINER OPERATION”: THE JEWISH COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY, 1933-1954 By Sebastian T. Mercier A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History – Doctor of Philosophy 2018 ABSTRACT “THE WHOLE FURSHLUGGINER OPERATION”: THE JEWISH COMIC BOOK INDUSTRY, 1933-1954 By Sebastian T. Mercier Over the course of the twentieth century, the comic book industry evolved from an amateur operation into a major institution of American popular culture. Comic books, once considered mere cultural ephemera or quite simply “junk,” became a major commodity business. The comic book industry emerged out of the pulp magazine industry. According to industry circulation data, new comic book releases increased from 22 in 1939 to 1125 titles by the end of 1945. Comic book scholars have yet to adequately explain the roots of this historical phenomenon, particularly its distinctly Jewish composition. Between the years of 1933 and 1954, the comic book industry operated as a successful distinct Jewish industry. The comic book industry emerged from the pulp magazine trade. Economic necessity, more than any other factor, attracted Jewish writers and artists to the nascent industry. Jewish publishers adopted many of the same business practices they inherited from the pulps. As second-generation Jews, these young men shared similar experiences growing up in New York City. Other creative industries actively practiced anti-Semitic hiring procedures. Many Jewish artists came to comic book work with very little professional experience in cartooning and scripting. The comic book industry allowed one to learn on the job. The cultural world comic books emerged out of was crucially important to the industry’s development.

  • • Heaven • Hell • Limbo O Limbo Contains Certain Long Forgotten Characters Like the Inferior Five, the Pre-Crisis Supergir
    Heaven Hell Limbo o Limbo contains certain long forgotten characters like The Inferior Five, the Pre-Crisis Supergirl, etc. Also contains characters we cannot legally use in stories at the present time like Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt, etc. The 5th Dimension (Zrfff) o Home to Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite.1 The Phantom Zone Pantheonia2 Olympus/Underworld The Dream Dimension Gemworld The House of Mystery and The House of Secrets Qward Earth Prime o Our world (Or some semblance thereof). 1 Here is my theory on both Bat-Mite and Mxy. Every incarnation of them in movies, television, and video games are the same persons just hopping around the multiverse. 2 My take on Grant Morrison’s Skyland. It is mostly the same thing, but with a fancier name. Earth-0 o This Earth contains the Pre-Flashpoint Universe minus a few minor alterations. Superman and Lois Lane are not married.3 . Cyborg does become a regular member of the Justice League. This version of the Legion of Superheroes is a hodgepodge of the other various versions. Joe Chill was never captured. The Justice League was formed after they stopped a preliminary invasion from Apokolips. 3 The reason why I favor this change from the New 52 is that I felt that their marriage wasn’t really going anywhere at the time of the reboot. Mostly because they were not having kids (and probably couldn’t without Lois Lane being killed via bukake.) . The current holder of the Black Canary name is the granddaughter of the Golden Age version, and her mother is a public advocate against superheroes despite briefly being the second Black Canary.
