About this Collection

This second volume of the SCI anthology continues its mission of showcasing Jewish comics creators and themes, collecting a diverse range of short stories that explore Jewish identity, culture, and history through various genres and artistic styles. Published by Alternate History Comics Inc., it brings together contributions from multiple writers and artists to offer a broad perspective on the Jewish experience in sequential art.

"Richard of Pomegranates" is a quietly surreal tale from SCI: The Jewish Comics Anthology #2, written by Daniel Gold and illustrated by Shane Kirshenblatt, whose distinctive art brings a dreamlike quality to the story’s peculiar journey. When Dr. Schmoyel worries about hosting his family for Passover, his rabbi offers an unusual solution—inviting increasingly disruptive creatures into his home, turning the celebration into an escalating, almost absurd trial of patience. The cover by Andrew Thomas captures the story’s offbeat tone, making this a standout entry in the anthology’s exploration of Jewish life and lore.
