Australian publisher and comics historian Kevin Patrick,continues his work to chart Australian comic book history. According to an email today:
“To most mainstream comic fans, the world of ‘Christian comics’ no doubt seems entirely removed from the realms of Spider-Man or the X-Men. And, stylistically speaking, they’re probably right!
However, comics form a sizeable proportion of the global Christian publishing industry, which encompasses everything from Bibles to popular fiction and ‘lifestyle’ books, and is every bit as diverse as ‘mainstream’ book publishing.
What many local comic fans may not realise is that an Australian writer-artist, Graham Wade, has been responsible for some of the most popular Christian-themed comic strips and magazines published during the last 50 years, which reach a truly worldwide audience.
I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Graham about his life and work. I published an abridged version of the resulting article in the May 2007 edition of Collectormania magazine, but have published the full-length version online at OzComics.com
