Wiesner created Shaloman in 1985, because he felt that there were few Jewish heroes that were a positive role model. Wiesner also looked at the creation by Jerry Siegel and Joseph Shuster, both of whom were Jewish. Although Wiesner was an admirer of Siegel and Shuster's work of Superman, he commented that the ethnicity of the character was rarely brought up and that many fans assumed Superman was a WASP. The last Shaloman was printed in 2012.
