Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)

To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

If you are concerned about the accuracy and faithfulness to the text please read this Blog...

Thanks for the note! I'll sign a book for you and send it to you, but currently I'm in Afghanistan. It will be late September before I could do that. I will be going to about 6 COMIC CONs all across the US though in the Fall and Spring. If Im at one close to you stop by and we'll go have dinner. :)

Aw man. Lol. Don't be so hard on Supes. It's hard to make classics nowadays. Yo I saw your interview with Justin and I enjoyed it my man. Happy Father's Day!!!! One of these days I'll get back into videogames with a vengeance. Right now I play the wii with my two boys. But I haven't gotten into the serious stuff. The kind that you call out for at your job. I am excited about the PS4 though, and terribly mad at xbox1. For the stunt that they are pulling.

Hey bro,

Someone just left a comment on your interview for my blog, and they really enjoyed it! I've included it below:

"I was truly blessed and inspired by the interview. I pray that the LORD continue to bless His sons and daughters in this area of ministry. I hope to see these types of comics in the mainstream, I know this would truly open up a whole new realm of witnessing."

Sir, great thanks for taking the job. No deadline. Kids will be reading R&RJiS 100 years from now. You can copy something on there or use your imagination and come up with somethign noone has ever seen before. I am just trying to give kids somethign fun and interesting to do. I will send you the $30 when you shoot me the jpeg and then post it to the web site. If you have someone else do some work I will send them $15 in addition to yours, like the coloring you mentioned. God Bless. Rich Collins
