Interview of Roy Schwartz, Author of ‘Is Superman Circumcised?’

Superman, The Man of Steel, is 80 years old. We all know Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created him. We also know that both were Jewish nerdy teenagers but do we know who inspired them or what transpired behind the scenes that led to the greatest creation in comics? 

Roy Schwartz is the author of 'Is Superman Circumcized? The Complete Jewish History of the World’s Greatest Hero' who has explored the circumstances in great detail as well as the role Abrahamic religions have played in introducing a different concept of Superheroism to the world since the late 30s.
