bio
I’m Gorf, veteran DC Comics Batman Manager, and I use my superhero experience (Dark Knight Rises; Birds of Prey) and my Jewish graphic novels (Passover Haggadah Graphic Novel; Esther Graphic Novel) to draw Jewish people together for Shabbat scholar in residence, multi-media presentations and the Jewish Cartoon Workshop with my inspirational message: MAKE JUDAISM YOUR SUPERPOWER!
