I am a Jewish librarian (hence my handle) and occasionally update the Jewish comics blog, the Jewish comics forum and a Jewish comics bibliography, though the blog gets the most attention these days.

Once in a while, I get to moderate or attend panels on the topic of Jewish comics and graphic novels.
