Marvel Comics recalled a comic book that contains an anti-Semitic slur. The latest issue of “Wolverine,” which went on sale on Yom Kippur, includes a scene in which a character refers to an adversary as “the kike known as Sabretooth.” A spokeswoman said it should have read “the killer known as Sabretooth.” The incident comes just three months after rival DC Comics was criticized for censoring all references to Jews in a comic that depicts Superman fighting the horrors of the Holocaust.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
