In December of 2001, Robert James Luedke set out to answer what he felt was a divine calling to re-enter the comic industry (after a three year absence) and create a graphic novel that would share the Gospel and honor God’s Kingdom. Since that time he has dedicated his life to creating and publishing the Award-Winning Eye Witness graphic novel series. Robert’s inspiration to craft Eye Witness’ unique adaptation of the passion story and Book of Acts, paired along with a modern-day action adventure story, has brought the Biblical narrative into the hand of thousands of readers of comics, manga and graphic novels, who might never had an interest in reading the Bible before! Until recently the comic/graphic novel industry has largely been devoid of works with Christian content. Partly through Robert’s efforts to promote Eye Witness, the genre of Christian based comic books and graphic novels is beginning to blossom. Not only are other independent writers and artists using the literary format to express their faith, but also major publishers, (like Thomas Nelson and Zondervon), have also launched entire lines of titles to address this growing market.
