You don’t have to tell me that Sarah Silverman is a superhero(ine).
Marvel’s latest Deadpool comic features a cameo by your favorite potty-mouthed Jewess, protesting the big bad Roxxon company, which appears in several Marvel comics series. In addition to being high on the red carpet, Silverman is well-known for her environmental activism.
According to the Times of Israel, Silverman joins a prominent list of Jewish celebrities who have peeked out of the pages of comics past. Gilda Radner, Don Rickles, Jerry Lewis and Woody Allen have also had the honor.
Super Sarah to the rescue!
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
