Seven years in the making, The Kingstone Bible from Florida-based publisher Kingstone Comics is available in a three-volume, full color hardcover comics adaptation that recreates the entire Bible in the form of a graphic novel. A team of 45 comics artists, all with experience at Marvel and DC Comics, produced the Kingstone Bible illustrations.
This is the first time the complete text of the Bible has been made available as a graphic work. “It’s an epic look for an epic book,” said publisher for Kingstone Comics, Art Ayris who stopped by the PW offices along a media tour that included Fox, The Guardian, and more on Nov. 4.
The 2,400-page, three-book set launched Nov. 1 with a 60,000 copy first printing, which Kingstone will distribute to the trade. Ayris said he handled most of the writing to adapt the Biblical text into a comics narrative. His cowriters are Ben Avery and Randy Alcorn.
