The Life of Pope John Paul II ... In Comics! #[nn]

A thoughtful and visually striking tribute, this 2006 Papercut/NBM graphic biography brings the life of one of history's most recognized spiritual leaders to the comics page. Werner Maresta's cover art depicts Pope John Paul II in his distinctive white papal vestments and red cape, mitre upon his head and pastoral staff in hand, raising one hand in a warm, familiar wave — conveying both the warmth and the authority that defined his papacy. With writing by Alessandro Mainardi, Stefano Gaudiano, and Kathleen Koeneman, and an introduction by Cardinal Martins, Prefect of the Congregation for Saints' Causes, this is a genuinely accessible and respectful way to explore the remarkable journey of Karol Wojtyła.
