By Water: The Felix Manz Story

In this single-issue historical graphic novel from Plough Publishing House, By Water: The Felix Manz Story (2023) brings to life the little-known 16th-century Anabaptist leader who was executed by drowning for his radical faith. Written and illustrated by a team dedicated to telling stories of faith and resistance, the comic examines Manz’s role in the early Reformation’s most persecuted wing. It matters as a focused, reverent portrait of a martyr whose quiet conviction challenged both church and state—and paid the ultimate price.
