"Martin Murtonen said:I was in South Africa once. To say the least their comic output was minimal at best. And the most popular comic was done by people who had moved there from England. And that was a newspaper strip.So, when I discovered this I…"

"I was in Nigeria (Lagos, Jos, and Abuja) eight years ago, and encountered some of the International Bible Society comics (Heroes of the Faith) while I was there, doing missions work.
Yes, do pray, brother, and see how God directs you. Nate Butler's…"

"Perhaps you could also see whether it would be possible to partner with a church organization, or even a denominational or missions headquarters. While it seems unlikely that you would find somebody who would carry the cost of creating a comic (you…"

"That is the same problem we face in America. To my knowledge, there is no one that is able to quit their full time job and produce Christian comics for a living. You do it to share the gospel and for the love of the medium, with very little…"
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...
Though I cannot offer any advice regarding income from Christian comics I can urge you to draw as much and as often as you can. Consider it as something similar to an athlete training for the big event. That way you are ready to go if and when God opens a door for your talent and skills.

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."
Welcome to the CCAS. I hope you get inspired when the excellent work of some of the brothers and sisters on this site. May the Lord richly bless you and your household as you grow in the knowledge of Him.
