CrossOver!

Posted on January 29, 2008 at 8:13pm 0 Comments

Hey, everyone! The CrossOver project keeps rolling on, but we still need help in a few areas. First, if you have contacted me about doing a chapter but we haven't talked in a while or hammered anything down, GET BACK TO ME! I'm still picking up the pieces after my Mom died and I KNOW I lost track of at least a few of you. If this is the first that you're hearing about it, let me know. If there is any ambiguity, E.MAIL ME!





Basically, for those who might not know, it's a huge… Continue

A beautiful thing happened today.

A beautiful thing happened today. A warrior for the Lord was freed from this land of dying to join Him in the land of the Living. She fought well, strong, and long, all for His Glory, and was rewarded with eternal, painless, sorrowless life. She was a testimony to His Goodness and Faithfulness, and brought many prisoners the key to the locks on their chains – that key being the repentance of sins and faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.



Meanwhile, here on Earth, Lois MacDonald,… Continue

My Mom could use your prayers

Posted on September 26, 2007 at 6:53pm 3 Comments

Hi guys. My Mom could use your prayers. She's been in the hospital for almost two weeks. Things happened pretty suddenly - she felt sick, was admitted to a local hospital, they were transporting her to the big city hospital, she had a mild heart attack in the ambulance, and now she's in multiple organ failure but stabilized on machines. We haven't given up hope, but I'm spending most evenings up there (Massachusetts General Hospital, MGH) and my writing energy has gone to updating her CarePage,… Continue

The Basics

Posted on September 8, 2007 at 3:18pm 2 Comments

Since I have no real knowledge of what you personally know about the genre, some of this might be a little too dumbed down, but if you don't know it you might get into trouble. So bear with me



Here are the basics that you need to be aware of concerning Christian comics:





1. This should primarily be for the glory of God. How can your skills in writing best glorify God? Do you feel called to write blatantly evangelistic tracts? Or are allegories more your style? Or… Continue

HI Steve,

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.


At Your Service,

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."

Ray is the real deal. I need to get me to one of those Ambassadors' Academy weekends.

If you need any direction in the Evangelism and/or Apologetics dept., just ask. I have tons of resources and can make some recommendations if you need them. WOTM is a great place to start, though.

Man, I just want to say that I truly enjoyed your testimony.
Apologetics & Evangelism (which basically go hand in hand)
are two of my growing passions.
Person I'd like to meet the most: Ray Comfort.
I believe he is astounding regarding both subjects.
God bless you and your devotion.

Good afternoon Steve,

Thanks for letting me know about this site! It's a great little hub of comic enthusiasts! You may not remember our recent conversation, but my name is Jason, and I'm the creator of this new Christian Graphic Novel entitled "The Way"... as you can see with the logo. Feel free to stop by my page and get a taste of what the project is about. Take care Steve-

Hey Steve!

I have to say, your profile picture terrifies me! With the reflection in your glasses, you look like you've just discovered the "end of the world" website or something! :)

Steve -- Yeah, Future-Wife sounds like a great idea. You should

Thanks, everyone, for your words of support. Even those of you that didn't know what to write, I understand. Sometimes there are no right words. I appreciate your prayers, love and support during this time.

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?”
