The Library of Congress exhibition "From Haven to Home : 350 Years of
Jewish Life in America" includes a copy of _Mendy and the Golem_ #1
(July 1981). There's no image at the online version of the exhibit
(
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/haventohome/haven-home.html), but here's
the description :
"The Mendy and the Golem comic book series features the story of a
Hasidic child, Mendy Klein, and his protector, a golem named Sholem.
In Jewish lore, a golem is an artificially created being that is
endowed with supernatural powers. In the words of its
creators, "Mendy and the Golem is a comic book with a difference. And
the difference is that it's not only designed to entertain your
children, but to educate them." Each of the early issues emphasized a
particular mitzvah [commandment]; the premiere issue of the series
focused on the commandment of hospitality to guests."

There's a Jewish comic strip on one of those pay-for-view online
comics websites that are popping up.
Here's the description of the strip by its author, Barry Deutsch :
"Hereville is about the adventures of Mirka, a twelve-year-old
Hasidic girl living in the isolated town of Aherville. ("Aher" is
Yiddish for "here.") The stories told in Hereville will follow Mirka
as she faces fairy-tale figures such as demons, ogres, dragons and
witches; and also as she faces growing older in a joyful, but
extremely cloistered, Hasidic town."
