Christian Comic Arts Society

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

Hi friends-- I sort of stumbled on this site while I was looking around on the internet. I'm a long time comic fan, and worked at a comic book shop for three years. I accepted Christ when I was a kid, went through the requisite crazy time in college and through a series of God-directed events ended up back in close relationship with the Lord, eventually joined staff with Campus Crusade for Christ and just accepted my first book deal, for a book that should be coming out in Fall of 2010. Pretty excited about that, of course. I'm talking with my editors about possibly doing a cover contest for the book (this isn't a little publisher... it's one of the big ones) and they're open to the idea. That's how I found the site, honestly, I was wondering if there was a cadre of Christian comic artists hiding out somewhere. Now I know!

Anyway, more details as I have them... I suppose it will probably be a while if they decide to go through with it. No promises have been made, of course, and I'm a bit of a neophyte on how that part of the industry works. But I'll keep you in the loop.

What kind of book?

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?”
