| This comicbook contains - as far as I know -the first appearance of a Golem in a comic ever - and it is quite interesting that it is linked to the Holocaust... |
|
| Also note that the Golem story is an early work by Joe Kubert, and shows signs of the style that would become a Kubert signature. Each of the four issues of Interfaith's Challenger had Kubert stories. |
