Christian publishing House, Kingstone Comics will soon be publishing a 12 volume, comic-book version of the entire bible.

Reading the Bible will soon be more fun and colorful, thanks to Kingstone Comics, a Christian publishing house. Kingstone has announced that it will soon be releasing a 2000 page, 12 volume comic-book version of the Bible, narrating incidents right from the creation of the world and the great flood to the Book of Revelation.

Officials of the publishing house claim that the comic-book version of the Bible, which is currently being worked on in America, is intended to teach people about the important events and themes mentioned in the Bible in a chronological order. The company hopes that the book will become a "Marvel in the faith market."

The first four volumes of the book will be released this year and will cover the Old Testament until the book of Judges. The next eight volumes will cover the New Testament and the chapters following the book of Judges in the Old Testament. These eight volumes will be released next year.

"The Bible is continually the best-selling book of all time. The Bible series on the History Channel was just the top-rated cable programme ever. We suspect The Kingstone Bible ... will be an evergreen product in the marketplace," Chief executive Art Ayris said

Ayris hopes that this comic-book version will help people understand the Bible better. He says that it astonishes him that most people, even church goers are more illiterate when it comes to the Bible. He hopes that the graphic bridge and chronological structure in the new book will help people understand "the major themes of the Bible."

Kingstone's adaptation is not the first graphic version of the Bible. Former Judge Dredd artist, Siku published a manga version of the early chapters of Genesis, from the Garden of Eden to Sodom and Gomorrah in 2008. In 2009, US cartoonist Robert Crumb published a graphical version of the Book of Genesis.
