Superman Isn't Jewish (But I Am...Kinda)

In this 2018 one-shot from Humanoids, writer/artist Jimmy B. Monaghan explores the tension between identity and myth through a personal lens. The story follows a Jewish comic book fan wrestling with the legacy of Superman—a character often read as a metaphor for the immigrant experience—and his own complicated relationship with faith and heritage. A thoughtful, intimate meditation that matters for its honest, grounded take on how pop culture icons intersect with real-world identity.
