Reviews
"""One might argue that W4W is actually a more authentic presentation of the Bible than our bare printed texts, which invite us to fill a visual vacuum by supplying pictures in our own imagination of people and events. We tend to do this as if they happened in our own time and place, or else in a generic ""Bible world"" where nothing really changes culturally from Abraham to Paul. W4W instead brings the reader very authentically back into the specific cultural world in which each story originated, through careful archaeological research."" Christopher R. Smith (Bible Scholar)"
Author Information
Simon Amadeus Pillario: Based in Bristol, England, Simon Amadeus Pillario has a degree in graphic design and has been professionally illustrating comics since 2002 and has a love of Dark Horse and Image comics, especially B.P.R.D. and anything by Mike Mignola. He became a committed Christian at the age of 23 and after reading the Bible as a young adult was struck by how much of the exciting intrigue, drama and challenging elements are dropped from dramatizations and visualizations of the bible stories. Passionate about the full Word of God and unsatisfied with the cut-down, child-friendly Christian comics available he was inspired to create this product for adults and mature teenagers. Leslie Simonin-Wilmer: AKA Sindos. Graphic Designer by day, Comic Book Colorist by night, probably found drawing lions on all surfaces. Based in Mexico. Laura Morfett: Laura lives in Belfast with her husband and two children. Inspired by a love of graphic novels to study art, she juggles family life with colouring, drawing and reading comics. Joshua Brown: Character Designer/Illustrator working as a comic colorist for spiritual comics part-time. Lives in Virginia and enjoys cartoons and classical music.
