…and we love how they present the show. Cannot wait for this run!

“Jews have had an extensive contribution to comics. But the focus has been mostly on men and superheroes. How did women contribute to the history of comics, and in particular, to autobiographical comics, a genre they helped birth? What is particularly Jewish and female about how they did it? And, why unveil parts of yourself and your life in comics? These are the questions posed to 18 artists, whose writings and drawings depict their own pain, laughter, shame, triumphs and self-doubts in a way that taps a collective nerve.”

Great story on Graphic Details in the Portland State Vanguard, a terrific student news outlet…

“In the margins within the margins of Jewish comics creators lies the female Jewish comics creator, often overlooked and under-celebrated when compared to her spandex-prone brethren…”

Next stop, Miami Beach!

Couldn’t have said it better ourselves:

“Shuster, Siegel, Kane: a list of the giants of comic art reads like the guestbook of a bar mitzvah. Conspicuously missing, however, are the many Jewish women who’ve influenced the art form, especially with their autobiographical work. Seeking to redraw the map of comic art, OJM presents confessional comics by 18 lady illustrators of the Jewish persuasion, including Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Robert Crumb’s partner and an accomplished artist in her own right, and queer artist and writer Ariel Schrag.”

Thanks, Portland Monthly!

Thank you, Portland blogger Deborah Rose Reeves, for this really nice shout-out…

“I thought I’d visited every museum and gallery in PDX when I first moved here but I guess not. This month I’m going to make an effort to go to the Oregon Jewish Museumhere in Northwest Portland. Graphic Details explores Jewish women’s autobiographical and confessional comics and graphic novels. Fascinating.”
