The Ultimate Superhero Graphic Novel!! In the beginning... Before the first man was created, before the earth, the sun, the stars, even before light and time were created, there was God. He alone existed without beginning, but he was not alone. He communed with himself in harmonious love. But god wanted to share his life. He wanted friends and neighbors. The Bible tells us God created numerous kinds of angelic beings to offer praise around his throne. But this is not their story. This is the story of God working with mankind.

What is the time-line to the day of the Lord? The signs have been right in front of us since the beginning. Yet hidden from us until now. The Day Jesus Returns Comic Book now reveals, in a colorful fascinating story, that Jesus returns halfway through the final seven years. You know that summer comes about six weeks after the first buds on a fig tree are visible. The fig tree parable is just that. The abomination of desolation is a sign and happens on day 1,290. Jesus returns six weeks after the abomination of desolation on day 1,335. As is stated in Daniel 12:12 Blessed is the one who waits and attains to day 1,335.
The Talmud tells us that when God was instructing Moshe regarding the detailed architectural plans for the Mishkan (the Tabernacle), written textual instructions were not enough. Moshe failed to understand. He had to be given a visual image - a pictorial sketch - in order to appreciate the full grandeur of the Mishkan: According to all that I show you, the pattern of the Mishkan and the design of all its vessels.... Make according to the design which you have been shown on the mountain (Shemot 25:9, 40).
Rashbam and Ibn Ezra point to Yechezkel, who visualizes the Temple in his prophetic visions. The Rambam (Maimonides) tells us that prophecy was communicated through visual parables that need decoding and explaining by the spiritual virtuosity of the prophet. Again, spiritual messages are communicated via imagery and art. Sometimes pictures speak louder than words. Text, especially in Hebrew, can be an obstacle to some children, and pictorial stories can open up entire worlds. Some people are simply visual learners. How about children who are not yet reading? For others, images are a means of connecting to a side of the story that they wouldn't appreciate through mere words; the pictures bring the words to life.
It is for this reason that it is my pleasure and honor to welcome Andrew Galitzer's book Torah Comics, which has been years in the making. Andrew, with whom I have studied at Yeshivat Eretz Hatzvi, is a talented artist and a magnificent cartoonist. He is also a wonderful teacher who can connect with young and old alike. He brings a sincerity, a conscientiousness, and a deep commitment to all he does. I have seen many of his parshah comics, and they are a fabulous resource - enjoyable for kids and a superb teaching tool for adults - as he summarizes the major topics and themes of the parshat hashavua and brings them alive in cartoon format. I can see parents using the images as a way of transmitting the content of our Torah, as well as using the pictures as the basis for discussion around the parshah. Andrew has put in hours of thought and research into his parshah comics.
I highly recommend this book.
--From the forward by Rabbi Alex Israel, Yeshivat Eretz Hatzvi
Luke's Gospel is one of the most influential pieces of literature in Christianity, religion and history of all time! This graphic novel presents every word, chapter and verse, within its historical, cultural and geographical context. The unabridged story is illustrated in a bold contemporary style but remains as faithful to the Christian scripture as possible.
The comic seeks to paint a balanced biblical picture of Jesus. By including his every word, action and interaction, whether loving or wrathful, long-suffering or harsh, servant or king, we get a more accurate depiction of the person of Christ and his mission as Messiah. Featuring the best-selling modern Bible translation the NIV with verse numbers at the bottom of each page.
