Friends: I was asked to post the responses to my list-query:
Does anyone have recommendations for other graphic “novels” along the lines of
the Rabbi Harvey series? They continue to be such a big hit with boys who are
usually non-readers, and I’d love to be able to offer additional options. The
Hereville books are great for girls, but not so inviting to boys. Suggestions?
**********
That seems a bit vague to me.
Rabbi Harvey is an elementary level graphic anthology of adaptations of
traditional Jewish folk tales set in The Old West.
There's nothing exactly like it (aside from the 2 other books in the series).
Which books are "like it" depends on whether the patron is looking for other
folk tale adaptations, other Jewish Westerns, other Jewish anthologies, or
simply other Jewish graphic novels with a male protagonist.
A great place to start are the 3 "Jewish graphica" bibliographies in the AJL's
online bibliography bank :
http://databases.jewishlibraries.org/sites/default/files/bibliographies/jewish_graphic_books.pdf
http://databases.jewishlibraries.org/sites/default/files/bibliographies/JewishGraphicNovels.pdf
http://databases.jewishlibraries.org/sites/default/files/bibliographies/jewish_graphic_novels.pdf
Alas, all 3 of them were last updated 10 years ago and are missing information
about newer works.
I aim to try to update my list later this year (by the end of February, if
possible).
There hasn't been a lot of Jewish graphic adaptations of folk tales, certainly
not in book form. Thus, I edited a book of new & old adaptations to see if
there was any market for such a work. The book is titled Jewish Comix Anthology
volume 1, though I don't think you'll currently find an affordable copy in any
stores. By the end of the year, a cheaper paperback edition should be hitting
stores.
As well, a 2nd volume (all-new adaptations, all science-fiction) should be
published by the end of the summer.
B'shalom,
