Image Comics announces Jesusfreak original graphic novel

September 21, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Image Comics has announced that it is set to publish the all new, sure-to-be-controversial original graphic novel Jesusfreak from writer Joe Casey and artist Benjamin Marra this coming Spring.

Jesusfreak is described as a bloody, two-fisted tale of heroic historical fiction featuring a certain young Nazarean carpenter who is having some trouble finding his place within a world of ever increasing violence. He knows he’s different… he just doesn’t know why.

“Jesusfreak is less inspired by any strict religious traditions and is instead more concerned with exploring the unique tension that exists between depicting a mythical figure and a historical figure – a tension that is compounded when, for many, they’re considered the same person,” said writer and co-creator Joe Casey. “It’s also a chance for Marra and I to indulge in a specific style of hard pulp storytelling that we think perfectly fits this material.”

“I’ve followed Joe Casey’s career as a writer for over a decade and so I jumped at the opportunity to push myself as an artist into unfamiliar areas with this book,” said artist and co-creator Benjamin Marra. “My aim with Jesusfreak is to channel the energy and storytelling of artists like Paul Gulacy, Frank Miller, and Klaus Janson to deliver a very different kind of historical fiction.”

Jesusfreak is set to go on sale in Spring 2019.
