Got Comics? “Golem” Found, Always Seeking More!

Here at Sacred and Sequential, we always welcome individuals interested in the study of religion and comics to write original pieces or review works for us, so long as they’re scholarly in nature or approach. But we also invite people simply to tip us off about new works or trends they’re seeing, even if there’s no analysis yet formed.

THE GOLEM OF SOUTH FLORIDATo that end, we want to thank stalwart colleague Steve Bergson for signaling us about a new series, The Golem of South Florida (available now from Comixology). From independent Pittsburgh comics publisher Punch Press comes a story of the legendary Jewish golem, planted now in modern-day Florida, having to “protect the local Jewish community from all new adversities: inclement weather, voting recalls and the high cost of prescription drugs.”

If you have or know of a new comics series that might benefit from the scholarly analysis of religion and comics scholars — or if you think religion and comics scholars would, conversely, benefit from analyzing such a work — don’t hesitate to contact our Sacred and Sequential team via the Contact link in our masthead.
