"Getting Even with the right-wing, neocon, fundamentalist, holy-rolling, snake-handling crazies"

Just what the world needs! Another modern "re-thinking" of one of the Gospels, this time in graphic novel form.

Jesus: A Graphic Rendering. Quote!


"He didn't do it for the most Christian of reasons. Unmoved by Mel Gibson's 'whitewashed' telling of Jesus' life in 'The Passion of the Christ,' New York artist and Episcopalian Steve Ross embarked on a graphic novel based on the Gospel of Mark to shake up the evangelicals who flocked to the flick. 'I said, here's my chance to finally get even with all the right-wing, neocon, fundamentalist, holy-rolling, snake-handling crazies who I feel have co-opted Christianity.'"


At least he's not bitter.
