Every week, the Comics Page introduces you to brand-new graphic novels by the world's best artists and writers. Manga, superheroes, indie comix — we'll cover them all as our editors select the best the exploding comics world has to offer.



The Stars of David, an all-Jewish barnstorming baseball team, travels across twenties America. When a promoter offers them a chance to attract a bigger audience than ever before, the team's captain must make a difficult decision: Should the Golem walk on the field?


All week on the Comics Page, we're excerpting "The Golem's Mighty Swing," one of the three clear-eyed short stories in James Sturm's America, coming in August from Drawn & Quarterly.
