I think we need to celebrate when Christians do something good, not just provide analysis of fundamentalist scare tactics. On May 27, Rob Bell interviewed Alan Close, a musician at Mars Hill Bible Church. Close is also an illustrator who has started a Christian comic book series and this isn’t exactly Archie and Veronica. It’s a visually realistic view of various Biblical stories.

One of the fascinating things is that when he drew the Baal priests, he googled Baal artifacts and discovered a mask that they wore. He used this in the costumes he designed.

It’s pretty cool stuff. The first comic is based on Elijah and Mount Carmel.
