The Bible as Graphic Novel, With a Samurai Stranger Called Christ

February 11th, 2008 by Fell

From the BBC:

Mr. Akinsiku says his Son of God is “a samurai stranger who’s come to town, in silhouette,” here to shake things up in a new, much-abridged version of the Bible rooted in manga, the Japanese form of graphic novels.

“We present things in a very brazen way,” said Mr. Akinsiku, who hopes to become an Anglican priest and who is the author of “The Manga Bible: From Genesis to Revelation.” “Christ is a hard guy, seeking revolution and revolt, a tough guy.”

    I’m not cool, even in the least.

    I wish people would stop trying to pretend I am.

    I’m more sick of people pretending I exist, though.

    The fact that you posted proves your existence. End of discussion.

    Hypnotoad does not exist. I had him for lunch about a million years ago.
