THE GUARDIAN
By Alison Flood
FLORIDA---From the creation of the world and the great flood to the Book of Revelation, a 12-volume, 2,000-page comic-book version of the entire Bible is in the works in America – "the most complete graphic adaptation of the Bible ever done", according to its Christian publisher Kingstone. The comic version, said Kingstone, is intended to "teach and explain the major stories and themes in the Bible in a historical and chronological manner". The Florida-based publisher will launch the first four volumes of its Bible adaptation this year, covering the Old Testament up until the book of Judges, with the remaining eight graphic novels– which will cover the New Testament as well as concluding the Old – to be published next year. Chief executive Art Ayris says the company's aim is to become "the 'Marvel' of the faith market", with the Kingstone Bible to be "a centrepiece for us in our offerings". [link]
