There was a recent documentary I watched, can't remember where, but it was about the Jewish influence in the early days of comics. It was brief, but it explained, at least partially, why Jews took to the medium (hint: it was one of the few places where Jews could work). If I find it, I will let you know the name of the program. But yeah, there are lots of Jews in the comics, especially the founding days.
