Since this is the season of not just the Christian holiday of Christmas, but also the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, I've created a trio of distinctly Jewish heroes to inhabit my Coolstar Comics Universe. I am not Jewish, but as a Christian, obviously have roots in that faith, yet I had to do a lot of research to make these guys work. Also, while none of them really have anything to do with Hanukkah exactly, I did decide to give them the menorah as their symbol, however they do retain the traditional Star of David on their matching signet rings. Overall, they are obviously based upon a mix between DC's Marvel Family and The Wonder Twins, also from DC Comics, and their names are from the rites of passage into adulthood from their faith.
Well, it certainly makes my day to receive your admiration of all the work that I put into making these guys faithful to both their inspirations and their theme. You're welcome and thanks as well.
Cool. I like these two. There's so few Jewish characters in comics (I can think of a handful, and only one explicitly Jewish-themed)... the more the merrier. I have some Jewish ancestry, so I definitely appreciate it. I love the amount of thought that went into the characters too. And a nice homage to the Marvel family in both backstory and design (which is pleasingly simple and memorable).
