"In the United States, mainstream literary publishing was dominated by Protestants, while secondary publishing--paperbacks, pulp adventure magazines, science fiction, mystery, westerns, comics (in short, writings for the working class)--was often owned, occasionally edited [...] and frequently written by Jews"
"the general worldview put forward in these narratives, not only in comics but in science fiction and the urban mysteries that it produced, was what has become known as 'the liberal Jewish worldview,' in which women were granted a larger more active part [...] and there was a far more cosmopolitan approach to matters of ethnicity and race."
