  • Virtual Book Talk with Blair Davis

    September 25, 2024 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

    Author of Christianity and Comics: Stories We Tell about Heaven and Hell

    Christianity and Comics presents an 80-year history of the various ways that the comics industry has drawn from biblical source material. It explores how some publishers specifically targeted Christian audiences with titles like Catholic Comics, books featuring heroic versions of Oral Roberts and Billy Graham, and special religious-themed editions of Archie. But it also considers how popular mainstream comics like Daredevil, The Sandman, Ghost Rider, and Batman are infused with Christian themes and imagery. 
     
    Comics scholar Blair Davis pays special attention to how the medium’s unique use of panels, word balloons, captions, and serialized storytelling have provided vehicles for telling familiar biblical tales in new ways. Spanning the Golden Age of comics to the present day, this book charts how comics have both reflected and influenced Americans’ changing attitudes towards religion.

    The Congregational Library & Archives will host this event with Blair Davis, who is a author and professor in the College of Communication at DePaul University in Chicago.
