Funnyman the World's First Jewish Superhero

Funnyman was a short lived comic book series created by Superman's Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Via. Boing Boing
Funnyman was a clown-like superhero who used gags, pranks and Yiddishisms to defeat his humor-deficient enemies. He was a dead ringer for Danny Kaye, one of my favorite comedians. The comic book was a total flop. It ran for six issues and went out of business. Siegel and Shuster tried to keep it going as a newspaper strip, but gave up after a year. The team never worked together again.

Weekly World News the Comic

The one time bible of the absurd is now a comic book featuring their most popular character Bat Boy. Says writer Chris Ryall "“Some might place Bat Boy alongside Superman, I’d place him above. Bat Boy is far from invulnerable, and only wears a pair of torn cut-offs, yet he’s out there, fighting our wars and helping kittens. He’s a true hero for the ages.” Batboy interacts with other real and make believe characters like President Obama, Hunter S. Thompson and Frank Millers Batman. You can learn more and checkout additional pictures over at Wired.

The Man In Black Now In Black And White

Johnny Cash is a bad ass. For that reason alone giving the man's life story the graphic novel treatment makes perfect sense. Graphic novelist Reinhard Kleist tells the story of Cash's colorful life from his early sessions at Sun Records with Elvis, his legendary concert for the inmates at Folsom Prison, his comeback in the late 90's and heartfelt last days of his life. Johnny Cash: I See a Darkness is the story of a rebel, a man of god, a human dealing with the power of addiction, a family man, a legend and the best damn country music star of all time.

So yesterday Disney purchased Marvel. Now that the mouse is in charge will Marvels heroes still have the courage to fight evil like the Nazi's? From what I understand Nazis are people who want universal health care.
