PORTLAND, OR, 09/18/2018 — Next spring, picture Comics provides JESUSFREAK, an all-new, never-before-published as well as sure-to-be-controversial original graphic book by writer Joe Casey as well as artist Benjamin Marra. JESUSFREAK is a bloody, two-fisted tale of heroic historical fiction featuring a specific young Nazarean carpenter who is having some difficulty discovering his location within a world of ever-increasing violence. He understands he’s different… he just doesn’t understand why. picture Comics will publish the original graphic book as a 64-page, full-color hardcover.

“JESUSFREAK is less influenced by any type of strict religious traditions as well as is instead much more concerned with checking out the distinct tension that exists between depicting a mythical figure as well as a historical figure—a tension that is compounded when, for many, they’re thought about the exact same person,” stated writer as well as co-creator Joe Casey. “It’s likewise a possibility for Marra as well as I to enjoy a particular style of difficult pulp storytelling that we believe completely fits this material.”

“I’ve complied with Joe Casey’s profession as a writer for over a decade, as well as so I jumped at the chance to work with him as well as to push myself as an artist into unfamiliar areas with this book,” stated artist as well as co-creator Benjamin Marra. “My objective with JESUSFREAK is to channel the energy as well as storytelling of artists like Paul Gulacy, Frank Miller, as well as Klaus Janson to provide a extremely different type of historical fiction.”
