Synopsis
Manga comics, the most popular literary form in Japan and Korea, are the fastest growing genre in British and American publishing. Dynamic, action-based artwork combined with pacy, emotional storytelling in a style particularly popular amongst teens and young adults. Many years in the making, The Manga Bible will be a publishing phenomenon. Artist Siku, one of the UK's hottest comic talents, has brought his distinctive, edgy style to the world's all-time best-selling book. The Manga Bible is a faithful adaptation of the Bible, injected with new energy by Siku's beautiful and dramatic artwork. The Manga Bible - NT Raw contains the New Testament plus brief features such as 'Introducing the New Testament', 'What is Manga?', an interview with Siku and sketches from his preliminary work on the project. Also available: The Manga Bible - NT Extreme, which also contains the the full text of the New Testament from the TNIV translation of the Bible. The complete Manga Bible, including the Old Testament, will be available later in the year.
Review
This is the first time I've ever read a manga book and especially not a bible. I found myself absolutely fascinated by the drawings which are quite spectacular. Graphic artist Siku very definitely brings to life, in a very stylised way the biblical stories. A book to interest any teenager who's not into reading The Bible but who may be interested in the stories.
