Gods and monsters: the Bible gets a comic book makeover
The only superpowers that feature in the 10,000 panels of the Kingstone Bible are wielded in the good fight, as the greatest story ever told gets a 12-volume comic-book adaptation. Christian publisher Kingstone has been working on the project for seven years, using more than 45 illustrators to pull together what it is calling “the most complete graphic-novel adaptation of the Bible ever published”, at over 2,000 pages, in either 12 paperback volumes or three larger hardcover volumes. - - The Guardian

Sounds like something from the fevered mind of Lizzy Warren and Nancy Pelosi.

This is nothing compared to the graphic religious pornography of Jack Chick

Seems to get good reviews on amazon, for what that's worth.

Jack Chick, huh? Whew. (By the way, what's your take on the R. Crumb Book of Genesis?)
Good to see some accuracy about Satan - and rather astonishing to see him recognized in The Guardian, another Father of Lies.

I have the Crumb version of Genesis. It is well drawn and I like it but I don't think of it as scripture, especially because he did it to show how weird Genesis is. Or that's what I read.

Why must the gerx of high position and low intellect crap up even religious texts?
Where in Genesis is there any mention of Satan and the snake?
The snake is there to rattle both Eve/Adam and God. The simple cussedness of mankind is demonstrated in the rejection of God's authority. God cusses both Adam and Eve, and the rattling snake for having God show mercy (Adam and Eve did NOT die the day they ate the forbidden fruit) instead of the promised deadly justice.
And to this day we do not agree on what's good or evil and what's right or wrong!
We try walking in water moccasins with our feet in our mouths poisoning ourselves as we roll to our dumbass goals.
Satan is stupefied at his own comparative turpitude and ineptitude.
