Foreword by Al Hartley Cartoons, creativity, and Christ! What a tremendous combination for communicating. Comics are a graphic medium and in an age of busy lives that allow little time for reading, pictures seem to get priority. TV demands attention and then mesmerizes. Comics present just as much action and because of their compact, streamlined format they truly entertain. Those of us who have been involved in creating Christian comics realize that the average reader wants to be entertained. They buy a comic for fun and excitement. And we provide that -- but it's only a book. We want the reader to pick up our books, be anxious to turn the page and to become totally involved in the story line. So, yes, our job is to entertain, but our goal is to offer something far more important than slapstick and suspense. Folks by the thousands are seeking all kinds of thrills and kicks to escape the reality of life. Our great motivation is to take a slice of life that the reader can identify with, and then show precisely how God wants to be involved in that life experience. In short, to illustrate in a very practical way the tremendous difference that having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ can have, day in and day out in the very nitty-gritty of our lives. Jesus wants us to enjoy the wonder of life's adventure, and to enjoy it abundantly, positively, and fruitfully. All of us involved in Christian comics are thankful to God for the talent He gave us. It's a privilege to give it back to Him. He is our Creator. Through Him we draw and have our being.
