Gestalten des Protestantismus #[5]

A vivid red cover sets the stage for this German-language comics biography of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750), rendered "in Wort und Bild" — in word and image. Lucien Nortier's cover art places a distinguished, period-dressed Bach confidently at a keyboard instrument, flanked by glimpses of interior comic panels that hint at domestic and musical scenes from his life. Published in 2009 by Evangelisches Medienhaus, this entry in the Gestalten des Protestantismus series brings the great composer's story to life through the collaborative work of writer Pierre Dhombre and artist Lucien Nortier.
