Christian Comic Arts Society

A Network of Christian Fellowship for Comics Fans, Pros, and Amateurs

Hello everyone,

I pray all is well. As I'm progressing with my comic projects and further immersing myself into Christian comics, I've decided to take a more active step in terms of learning from other Christians who either have completed projects, or are working to complete their first project. What I decided to do was dedicate a segment of my blog to highlighting and interviewing other Christian comic creators (writers and/or artists). I already that the first couple of interviews lined up, but I'm looking to conduct others.

 

These interviews will serve as encouragement for other Christians who are considering making comics (as well as those like myself who have made the decision and are trying to learn the ropes). Furthermore, the interviews will help expose more people to Christian comics or Christian-themed comics.  If you're interested, check out the information below, and let me know when you can give me the information. There's no deadline or anything, so no rush.

 

All responses should be e-mailed to me at rsquaredcomicz@gmail.com with "Interview Information" as the subject. Take care and God bless!


What You Should Send Me...
 
(1) Brief bio
(2) Responses to whatever questions you choose to answer
(3) Any images (jpegs) or links you want me to include alongside your interview (e.g., personal pic, pictures of comic/book covers, pin-ups, logos, etc.).


Introduction
 
Short bio about who are you and what you do.

Interview Questions
When did you first get into comics as a reader/fan? As a writer/artists/creator?

Why comics? What do you like most about this medium?

Say a little about the project(s) you have worked on in the past (if any), and what they were about?

What project(s) are you currently working on?

What format(s) do you prefer for telling your stories (e.g., on-going series, mini-series, one-shot, graphic novel, etc.) and why?

What sources of information and inspiration have helped you along the way?
 
Say a little about how you’ve been able to communicate your faith through your project(s)? What has that process been like? How has it evolved over the years?

What advice would you give to other Christians who are considering making comics?

Are there any future projects you are working on, or would like to work on?

What is your take on the current state of Christian or Christian-themed comics? What, if anything, would you like to see more of in the future? What, if anything, would you like to see done differently?

What is the best way for people to contact you, and to read/purchase your work?

Any last thoughts?

Thank you taking the time to do this, and I’m praying for all the best in your endeavors!

CCAS at Comic-Con

The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011

In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.

Panelists including SERGIO CARIELLO (The Action Bible), RUSSELL DALTON (Marvelous Myths: Marvel Superheroes and Everyday Faith), BUZZ DIXON (Serenity/Hits & Misses), and MIKE SHIELDS (Blue Blazes) discuss how a new generation of comics and pop culture are exploring timeless truths and also address the question “Is Mass Media Our New Church?”
