Doug TenNapel: Changing the Rules for Telling the Story
By Christopher Neiswonger
C.S. Lewis is known for saying things no one else was allowed to say in ways that everyone was willing to hear it. Were he alive today he might have been writing graphic novels and designing video games. Doug TenNapel is walking in that same great tradition but communicating the timeless to a different generation with different needs an… Continue

San Diego Comic-Con 2009
Hi all. Sorry for the late report on Comic-Con, but after a very long sleepless week at the convention I dove right back in to my regular work schedule, so it's taken me a little longer than I hoped to "bounce back" from the show.
For those who don't know: myself and Ralph Miley ar… Continue

Christian Comics Pioneer to Retire
The director of the French publication Tournesol, one of the longest-running Christian comics in the world, will be retiring next month. Swiss comics producer Jefko (Jean-Frédéric Kohler) has been in charge of the magazine since 1984. Ligue pour la Lecture de la Bible (LLB) in Valence, France, began publishing Tournesol in October 1960. Jefko was recruited by the previous director, Claude Gaasch, after Gaasch saw ...Rare Estonian Comic Released
Christian cartoonist Joonas Sildre from Tartu, Estonia, has published Maailma Naba, his first comic book. "Comic book publishing is a not too common event in Estonia," says Sildre. The comic title translate as World's Belly Button and is a "comical story for kids." The story is about "finding something that's hidden and yet most important thing on Earth." Sildre adds, "So, you can read into it somewhat of a Christian allegory, influenced by faith." Sildre is translating the comic to ...Manga Series Finds A Home
Serenity, the popular Christian manga-style series, is now at Snokie, a new publishing venture established by creator Buzz Dixon. Snokie will specialize in online and print-on-demand (POD) titles. "We're going to start 'Serenity Sundays,'" says Dixon. "Every Sunday we'll post online a free 15-page chapter from the original 10 Serenity graphic novels." Snokie will offer free downloads of lesson plans for ministers and Sunday school teachers who might wish to use Serenity and other Snokie stories to help illustrate Biblical points. Snokie will also publish Hits & Misses, a 480-page girls sports story that twice had been in the printing queue with a major publisher only to ...Comics "Invade" Church in Switzerland
Bestselling Swiss cartoonist Alain Auderset has moved into an abandoned 19th century church structure and transformed it into an artists' workshop in Saint-Imier. The building is now filled with plants, "big graffiti," and a permanent exhibition of Auderset's drawings from his 5 published comic albums. "This old church, invaded by comic books, has a natural charm," explains Auderset. "I share these premises with artists from other fields. It motivates me and gives its particular hue to this place." During Auderset's recent all-day Open House event, his entire local church family was mobilized to be tour guides, serve food, manage traffic and parking, sell Auderset's comics, and operate a gigantic ...More Manga in Uganda
Through the sponsorship of Bible League, Canada, and in partnership with the Church of Uganda, NEXT Inc has now distributed 780,000 of a planned 800,000 copies of Manga Messiah in Uganda. The books have been circulated through schools primarily but also via churches and ministry organizations. During a recent trip to Uganda, Roald Lidal of NEXT visited five schools and was "overwhelmed by the impact the books are actually having." One of the Ugandan distributors told Lidal: "The children don't have any Bibles and most of their parents don't either, so Manga Messiah becomes their Bible. The children often teach their parents, so the books often have a great influence, not only on the children but on their families and communities." Lidal notes that Muslims have a 40-year goal of turning Uganda into an Islamic nation and ...Clash Comics for Christian Teens, Tweens
Clash Entertainment, Inc. of Wichita, Kansas USA plans to launch an entertainment/portal website in June 2010. Their goal is to have a site that is "so rich and deep with entertaining media that teens will want to visit and stay for sustained amounts of time." The site will be updated daily with fresh content that will include comics. When the site goes live there will be over 6 months of accumulated content, so teens will have a lot to explore from the start. Clash plans to publish comics "that have a Christian component or that are family-friendly and produced by Christian creatives." They will have new comics each day of the week, "Sneak Peeks" of new comics, previously-published Christian comics, and ...COMIX35 Selects First "Timothy/Joshua" Candidate
Cartoonist and graphic designer José Carlos Gutiérrez of Mexico City, Mexico, has been invited to COMIX35's Annual Board Meeting in November. He is the first candidate chosen in the ministry's on-going search for future leaders known as the "Timothys & Joshuas / Marthas & Priscillas" Project. Gutiérrez was the 1st Prize winner in the Amateur Division of the first International Christian Comics Competition in 2005 and was able to turn professional as a result. He also received an Honorable Mention in the Spanish Christian Comics Competition in 2006. More recently he organized a team of cartoonists to produce monthly comics for the Christian magazine Prisma in Mexico. "José Carlos has shown considerable enthusiasm, interest, and initiative in tackling Christian comics projects," says COMIX35 President Nate Butler. "I'm excited about ...Currently Conceived Creationist Comics
Two new comics contrasting Creation Science and the Theory of Evolution have been produced in India and France. The East Indian illustration studio Sona&Jacob has released Revisiting Reason as a 78-page Graphic Novel in e-book form, while French artist Audrey Ragonnaud has published Tell Me About The Bible as a 17-page comic available as an e-book or in print. "As firm believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Word of God, we believe in the literal 7-day creation as described in Genesis," Sona&Jacob reports. "We are alarmed and increasingly distressed by the spread of the evolutionary philosophy in all spheres of life ... It seems a not-so-distant possibility that evolution and its offshoot philosophies will emerge as the religion that unites an increasingly disobedient and rebellious generation." Following the initial release of their GN, Sona&Jacob received valuable feedback from other Christian cartoonists who are also involved in Creation Science work ...News/Needs Added to Animation Site
COMIX35 has incorporated a new "News & Needs" page into the ministry's ANIMAX35 website as a service to Christian animators. The page will cover news about Christian-themed animations or present "needs" related to Christian-oriented projects. There will also be some general reporting of activities by Christians in the animation industry. Animators cited in the first listings include Cedric Hohnstadt, a character designer on the 3-2-1 Penguins! series, and Lon Waitman, a winner in the Animations for Web & Mobile Devices Competition in 2006. There is no charge for approved listings ...Dragon GN Adapted by International Team
