Paul Kupperberg Interview
This was a big one! This summer we had the privilege and honor of speaking with DC Comics legend, Paul Kupperberg. Paul was kind enough to speak to us about Episode 23 - Metropolis Mishpacha, where we covered Supergirl and her landlady Ida Berkowitz! Paul of course was the author of these stories. We talk about religion in comics, Jewish representation, the Holocaust, and Colossal Boy's colossal bris!

Customer Reviews
My favorite of all the Jewish comics podcasts
This podcast would be my favorite podcast about Jewish content in comics even if there were a thousand others. Henry and Rabbi Brandon never fail to educate and entertain. Plus, Ben Grimm! Shadowcat! Moon Knight! SERAPH!!! How can you go wrong?
Comic Book Heaven
These guys are great! Fantastic insight! Can’t wait for more! Henry is a real guru of Jewish comic books!
A “Must Listen!”
What a joy to listen to the first episode of the Funny They Don't Look Jewish Podcast co-hosted by my brother Henry Bernstein! Of course I’m biased, but I truly find this to be creative, original and funny with profound insights into portrayals of Judaism in superhero comic books. -Rabbi Edward Bernstein
