Image Comics to publish JESUSFREAK— an original graphic novel by Joe Casey & Benjamin Marra
“JESUSFREAK is less inspired by any strict religious traditions and is instead more concerned with exploring the unique tension that exists between depicting a mythical figure and a historical figure—a tension that is compounded when, for many, they’re considered the same person,” said writer and co-creator Joe Casey. “It’s also a chance for Marra and I to indulge in a specific style of hard pulp storytelling that we think perfectly fits this material.”
“I’ve followed Joe Casey’s career as a writer for over a decade, and so I jumped at the opportunity to work with him and to push myself as an artist into unfamiliar areas with this book,” said artist and co-creator Benjamin Marra. “My aim with JESUSFREAK is to channel the energy and storytelling of artists like Paul Gulacy, Frank Miller, and Klaus Janson to deliver a very different kind of historical fiction.”
An exclusive 16-page black-and-white ashcan preview of JESUSFREAK, featuring a two-color cover, will be available for purchase for $1.00 at the Image Comics booth (#1444) at New York Comic Con. Joe Casey and Benjamin Marra will attend the convention, which will be held at the Javits Center in New York City from Thursday, October 4th through Sunday, October 7.
JESUSFREAK (ISBN: 978-1534311749) can be ordered on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, IndieBound, and Indigo.
