BoingBoing points out a press release from Silver Bullet Comic Books about the English premiere of The Golem, a daily comic strip “featuring Israel’s first nanotechnology-powered superhero” on Ynetnews.
The strip is based on the book, The Golem, a mock history of the character’s path through Israeli comic books. Despite the lengthy volume’s extensive artwork showing The Golem in a series of comics and styles from the 1940s through 1990s, the “history” evoked is fake; none of the comic books in which The Golem is said to have starred actually were published.
The Golem, incidentally, is a MacGuffin used in transporting Joe Kavalier out of pre-WWII Prague in Michael Chabon’s Kavalier & Clay.
