Will Eisner
In his first bout, Eisner barely got by scrappy underground comix legend Art Spiegelman Then he went toe-to-toe with the Master of Magnetism himself and told Magneto to get bent. His books on the Jewish experience warned against the threat of antisemitism and prejudice and became part of the foundation of the comic book industry. We connected him with real world organization The American Jewish History Society.
Willow Rosenberg
The Wiccan Buffy the Vampire Slayer character didn’t need a codename to defeat the Adventures of Kavalier and Clay-inspired hero the Escapist. Then she left Sgt Rock in the dust. Will the world’s most famous lesbian Jewish witch muster enough mojo to take down the grandfather of modern comix? If Willow wins, Nehirim the national Jewish GLBT organization will have major bragging rights.
