Up, Up, and Oy VeyRabbi Simcha Weinstein

Up, Up and Oy Vey: How Jewish History, Culture, and Values Shaped the Comic Book Superhero
(Barricade Books; June 2009)

Up, Up, and Oy Vey chronicles the story of the origins of the most famous superheroes, from the birth of Krypton to such famous figures as Caped Crusader, the Incredible Hulk, Spider
Man and the X-Men. The Jewish contribution to pop culture is well documented, but the Jewish role in the creation of action comic superheroes has not been – until now! Rabbi Weinstein has an international following based on his many speaking engagements. He is also the author of Shtick Shift: Jewish Humor in the 21st Century.
