Two stories from the scripture: Jesus: The Road Of Courage and Mark: The Youngest Disciple are reprinted in full color in Titan Books’ new Classic Bible stories hardback.
Originally printed in the British comic Eagle and drawn by such legendary comic strip artists as Frank Bellamy and Frank Hampton, the stories illustrate key moments in Jesus and Mark’s lives as envisioned by modern day artists.
What makes these stories so interesting is that the artist took great efforts to depict the scenes as they would appear set during biblical times. Costumes, setting and surrounding looked as they did hundreds of years ago. Not dry or sterile in their presentations, the images are vibrant, full of energy and laid out in dynamic style with lots of action, plenty of pathos and presented as serious stories.
It’s obvious that a great deal of attention was given to details, historical accuracy and story telling technique. The stories never talk down to the reader, rather they seek to instruct, inspire and enlighten the reader.
