The Bible as Manga?
A post in todays NZ Herald mentioned a new manga based Bible:
A growing craze in Britain for manga, a Japanese style of comic packed with big-eyed, wild-haired characters, has inspired publishers to produce manga versions of William Shakespeare plays and even a manga bible.
The popularity of manga is inspiring publishers to use the genre to reach a new audience. David Moloney, editorial director for Christian books at Hodder & Staughton, decided to release the first manga version of the bible in English.
"Manga is a form of story-telling that is very popular at the moment so why not try to use it to put the contents of the bible across," Moloney told Reuters in an interview.
Allright folks - my birthdays coming up in the end of May - who wants to source me a copy of this Manga Bible? Hell, if you don't want to buy me a copy but can source one for me I'll gladly buy it! But you're a kind and giving blogosphere right?
