At the AJL convention in Cleveland last month, a Powerpoint presentation on the portrayal of Israel & Israelis in comic books, comic strips, and graphic novels was given.
A podcast of the session will be available via the AJL website at http://www.jewishlibraries.org
Tonight, I put the finishing touches on the official presentation blog for "From Tintin to Waltz with Bashir", which may be found at http://israelincomics.blogspot.com
Even if you were among the 30-something people who attended the session, you'll probably want to take a look at the blog. Not only will doing so enable you to take a second look at the all of the scans I showed, but you will be able to see dozens of additional ones which time didn't permit me to share.
The blog is arranged into 11 sections for those who don't want to read it all at once (and the downloading of the images is quicker).
To see the full-size scan of any image, simply click on that image (a hyperlink will take you to the image file).
the 11 sections :
Introduction
1930s
1940s

Your feedback (positive or negative) is welcome and appreciated.
Enjoy!

Interesting. I've loved Rutu Modan's 2 graphic novels : http://www.leblogdelamirabelle.net/notes-de-lecture-bd-graphic-novel-reviews/anglophonegraphicnovels/underground-in-japan-and-israel
