Announcing a brand new book: Comic Tales From The Bible by Kev F Sutherland

Comic strip writer and artist Kev F Sutherland, best known for his work on Beano and Marvel comics, has turned his hand to humorous adaptations of five classic Bible stories in Comic Tales From The Bible.

In this full colour 90 page graphic novel, Kev retells the stories of:

The Book Of Esther - where Mordecai and Esther have to fend off the threat of extermination by the evil Haman. The Purim story as a Disneyesque comedy adventure.

The Book Of Ruth - how Ruth the Moabite gets to marry into the tribe of Israel, with smutty innuendo and threshing.

The Story Of Joseph - How one lad from a big family gets given a colourful coat (not technicolour, that's copyright) and rises to become the greatest administrator in ancient Egypt.

The Story Of Rahab - How Rahab and her family survive the destruction of the walls of Jericho.

Jael Wife Of Heber - PG Wodehouse's favourite Bible tale. Spoiler alert: involves a tent peg through the skull!

Originally commissioned by Bible Society, these stories written and drawn by Kev F Sutherland are now available in full colour for the first time, from Amazon.

The Book Of Esther (The Scroll of Esther, Megillat Esther) Megillat Esther is a book in the third section of the Tanakh and is one of the five scrolls of the Hebrew Bible that later became part of the Christian Old Testament.

The exciting and dramatic story of Esther and Mordecai, as they take on the terror of the evil Haman and the king (known here as Xerxes, aka Ahasuerus). Esther is a Disney Princess, Mordecai looks for all the world like Larry David. There is a mixture of comedy and drama at every turn and, spoiler alert, the party of Purim at the end. This is the perfect gift in the run up to Purim, and all year round.

The Book Of Ruth is so much more than just a 13 page graphic novel about inheritance law; The Story Of Rahab tells of a woman who helps her family survive extermination, and Jael Wife Of Heber is the story with (spoiler alert) the tent peg through the skull!

Glorious, bloodhthirsty, and hilarious tales from the Torah and the Bible.

This graphic novel was originally commissioned by Bible Society. This is an independently published version by the writer and artist. ©2022 Kev F Sutherland.
