#a modern mythos, #but i don't buy it, #but something more pervasive, #comic books, #history, #literature, #people could sense it when they first read it, #race, #so not an artform, #so to speak, #there are those who would argue that characters like doc savage and the shadow were really the first superheroes, #there's a difference, #these are the gods demigods and heroes of our time
Some facts:
1) Black Americans created jazz.
2) Jewish Americans created comic books.
3) These things are said to be the only original American art forms.
Alas no, the comic book was invented in the early 1800s by a Swiss dude named Rudolphe Töpffer. I have no information on whether he was Jewish.
What Jewish Americans did was invent superheroes.
