Wendi Bernau helps us experience the epic story of Judith in a new way. Her graphic novel stays faithful to the biblical text, while sprinkling in some sardonic wit that maintains the tone of the original tale. The stylized illustrations engage the reader without trivializing the story. Through the interplay of word and image, Bernau helps us travel along with Judith on her incredible hero's journey. --Russell W. Dalton, Professor of Religious Education, Brite Divinity School Wendi Bernau's charming and entertaining graphic novel brings the book of Judith to life again. She captures the sweeping action, the humor, and the whimsical nature of the original, along with Judith's audacious deed! For many, this may be their first reading of this book from the Apocrypha, and it introduces it very well. --Lawrence Wills, Visiting Professor of Judaic Studies and Religious Studies, Brown University My colleague Wendi Bernau is a unicorn--a mythical creature full of magic and wonder. In this striking work, she combines her artistic eye with her theological mind to retell the story of the brave young woman who stands up for her people when hope is lost. The story of Judith is the story of a hero, and Bernau's engaging graphics and dramatic pacing bring the story to life in a wonderful and magical way. --Larry Duggins, Leader and Executive Director, Missional Wisdom Foundation
