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.
