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...

The Word for WORD Bible Comic-100+pg Graphic Novel (Judges)

Hard hitting, unabridged graphic novel of the Book of Judges that is historically accurate with high view of scripture. For ages 15+

in your graphic novels don't use Narnia word, Star Wars jedi forces and Lord of the Rings magic ok
David C. McConnehey II August 11, 2009 at 9:51pm

Normally I might be interested. However currently I have my slate full. I am on two projects which are back end pay, and several small projects that are paying here and there. All of this on top of school and full time family. Thank you though for the request.

what no pirates of the caribbean!
this Champions of the Starstones sound weird and cool. and I don't even know what La Morte d'Arthur is

Hi Lee,
Yep...that would work. I could do a few pages.
How would we work this?
Let me know....

Hi Lee,
First off...my apologies for not getting back to you sooner. A lot's been going on lately.
Thanks so much for your kind and encouraging comments about my work.
And yes...I did experience a little bit of burn out after that last project with the graphic novels. Actually, I did two. On the first, I did only pencils and inking...with a schedule of completing about three a day!
On the second, I also did all the coloring. And as well, a lot of the graphics, such as the logos, layouts and stuff. Plus over a hundred playing cards, in full color, that were to go with the series.
Unfortunately, the people I worked with ran out of funds to have the second issue published.
I sure would like to see more of the story you have come up with. But, I'm afraid that I am not in a position right now to do anything that is not paying work. I'm not doing any kind of illustration work right now. I'm working in the housing industry doing window cleaning and whatever else I can get...long days...just to try and meet the bills.
Again, thanks for your interest...and would love to see more of your idea

Be blessed!

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
