An Illustrated Presentation by Joshua H. Stulman, Publisher of Israeli Defense Comics
Joshua H. Stulman has been fascinated with superhero comics since the age of six when his father purchased Shaloman # 01 for him.Since then he has immersed himself in the history of comics beginning with the early adventures of Superman, Batman, and Captain America. Stulman’s comic book collection now numbers in the thousands and is a continuing source of artistic inspiration to him.
In 2007, in the aftermath of the Second Lebanese War, Stulman created the superhero Magen, the shield of Israel. Stulman returned to the character twice before finally publishing the first issue of Israeli Defense Comics in the spring of 2012. The second issue of IDC features the Golem story re-imagined in modern time.

Here’s a pic of the central splash of Israeli Defense Comics # 02. It features the birth of the Golem in all its “Kirby” glory.
In IDC # 02, the Golem’s medieval story is adapted in a flashback and then revived in modern time Israel.
As some may know, the Golem story has been a staple of science fiction and comic history for well over a hundred years. Mary Shelly used the Jewish tale as a basis for Frankenstein.
In comic book history, the golden-age comic book artist Carl Burgos (Max Finkelstien) created the original Human Torch as a robot who rebelled against his creator. The idea of mud creations coming to life are the basis of several characters including Clayface, Sandman, and the Puppet-Master. Other famous characters inspired by the Golem are the Incredible Hulk, and the Thing (at least in appearance).
