This one is a bit off the wall (which is why it is so great), the action bible. Essentially the Bible in comic book form. My girlfriend just got me a copy from Walmart of all places lol. The art is pretty impressive.

Ha! I have a copy of this. I bought a copy of this years ago, hoping it would be like those old Bible comics I read as a kid. But I haven’t read it yet. It’s in my garage. Maybe I’ll do a Bible comic read through once I’m done with groo. Peace, maka

Dear Readers,
If you are looking for Biblical comics please consider The Book of Genesis by R. Crumb.
Taken word for word from a modern translation and the illustrations are most excellent.
Best wishes to all.

A young journalist prompts a reclusive piano superstar to open up, resulting in this stunning graphic sonata exploring a lifetime of rivalry, regret, and redemption. 1933. In the small French village of Cressy-la-Valoise, a local piano contest brings together two brilliant young players: Julien Dubois, the privileged heir of a wealthy family, and François Samson, the janitor’s son. One wins, one loses, and both are changed forever. 1997. In a huge mansion stained with cigarette smoke and memories, a bitter old man is shaken by the unexpected visit of an interviewer. Somewhere between reality and fantasy, Julien composes, like in a musical score, a complex and moving story about the cost of success, rivalry, redemption, and flying pianos. When all is said and done, did anyone ever truly win? And is there any music left to play?
