In Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me , one of the final graphic memoirs from the man who defined the genre, Harvey Pekar explores what it means to be Jewish and what Israel means to the Jews.

Pekar's mother was a Zionist by way of politics, his father by way of faith, and he inevitably grew up a staunch supporter of Israel.

But as he became attuned to the wider world, Pekar began to question his parents' most fundamental beliefs.

This book is the full account of that quest.
