So, some of you might recall that I posted some time back how The Jewish Museum was thinking about taking a show about comic book artists being organized in LA. Well, I never came back to say that we are indeed taking this show:

It's a big show, so big that a section devoted to comic strip artists (such as Charles Schulz) will be in the Newark Museum. But we get Kirby and Eisner!!! At last, the great artists of the comic book get their due.

But now there is more.

It seems that we are also getting a small exhibition (opening in October, a month after the Comics show arrives in September) about a certain strange visitor from another world.

Superman will be at The Jewish Museum!!!

Superman, who can bend steel with his bare hands! Superman, who was created by two Jewish teenagers from Cleveland! Superman, who is still my favorite super-hero and whose place in American pop culture is almost unparalleled!

As you can see, I am stoked.

Sometimes, I love my job.
