A Golem/Frankenstein/Sci-Fi/Horror comic for Halloween, originally published in The Forward, November 2, 2012 issue. Click the Forward link for reader comments. This year’s Halloween trick comes from Commentary, which dubbed the piece “Anne Frankenstein.” The Halloween treat comes in the form of this delightful rejoinder and overview of my work in general. Oh, a bonus (arguably): I discuss the comic in this podcast, starting at the 18:12 mark.
