Greetings!I am Kirk Harris, and I've been on this site for a little over a week, and I'm pleased to be here to fellowship with all of you! Let's use our spiritual bond to create something that would benefit the Kingdom! Christian comics, as a whole…
I'm interested in creating a biblical comic book. What are publisher's criteria in that aspect, and what's the best approach when looking to get a book of that ilk published?
"Thank you humbly for the kind words, fam! Coming from an artist of your caliber, it's truly high praise indeed, as you are supremely gifted! What projects are you working on?"
"You first have to identify the audience you want to write for.
In my case, I come from New England and my wife is from Europe. Christianity is not exactly popular in either region; the majority of my Mom's side of the family is agnostic at best.…"
"Greetings, Jason! thank you humbly, for stopping by, and for the invite! I LOVE what you're doing! All roads lead to Him, and yours is one of them. If there's any way that I can help, with my ability, please let me know!"
"Sometimes, artists rely on methodology espoused on them from schools/instructors/professors, etc., while others rely, simply, on their own analytical skills, and on things they may have heard, or stumbled upon through experimenting. I guess it's all…"
"Who's to say that he won't have universal appeal?...One never truly knows what God's plan is, even when we think we know! Satan knows that this has global potential, and is afraid of that, so he's trying to plant the seeds of doubt that will keep…"
"I love this! Your stylings are so original, and emanate a sense of fun, which kids need in a world where things are taking a serious spiritual turn for the worse. You've found a way that will lead them to the word, and to salvation...Bless you, John!"
Thank you so much for welcoming me. I'm sorry that it has taken a while to respond. I am not familiar with this medium, but I'm learning. I'll post some of my work soon.

I'm glad to hear that, brother. Sorry about the delayed response - family issues that needed tending to. Anyway, the concept is called, "Last Eden." It chronicles the lives of two young, recently born-again Christians name Chad Johnson (African-American) and Victor Gomez (Mexican) who struggle to find purpose in the gritty, sin-filled city of Eden (think Los Angeles, but worse). While our story is rooted in modern day reality, we, the readers, are privy to the spiritual attacks of Seven Deadly Sins. As I mentioned before "Last Eden" is meant to purely depict the trials and tribulations that affect young Christians today - lust, drugs, death, conflicting religions, financial hardships, loneliness, the uncertainty of the future, gangs, false prophets, losing friends because of their beliefs, and the war overseas.
Serving truth, God-willing. A couple of weeks ago, my friend, David Audelo Jr., after viewing an Atheist panel on Youtube, was feeling extremely discouraged about his walk in Christ and I know I've felt my own share of hard times as well. Anyway, after spending a weekend with him and his family, I realized that there's a world of young Christians out there who aren't as fortunate as we are. At least we have a great "support group"; many don't , and as a result they find themselves lost to the temptations of this world. What I'm hoping to do is publish a comic book series that purely chronicles the trials of a budding Christian, showing that no matter what tribulations we face, Christ is still greater. I can go into the specifics if you're interested. Let me know.
I can appreciate that. I'm been a story creator for as long as I can remember and I don't see signs of stopping anytime soon. Just out of curiosity, how much do you have on your plate these days?
