Product Description
Synopsis from SKS Books:
A small silhouette in the distant sun.
Bitter rays of dawn scorched down the precipice of the wilderness, casting a stillness of dread that has pervaded the desert air.
Eyes piercing, gaze locked.
The roar of the beast echoed in the rivulets of dust.
It is time for battle.
These are the pockets of brilliance that encapsulates this latest work by comic artist Royden Lepp. The historic tradition of the life of one of ancient Israel's greatest hero-generals of all time is now repainted and retold in a visual experience that is guaranteed to hold readers spellbound in its artistic genius and bold display of the Judeo-Christian ideal in all its daring. With strokes that combine a mishmash of manga and convention, Lepp arouses the believer in you as he brings you through the early life of the boy king.
This first volume introduces the life of David. In reminiscence of his time as a shepherd boy in the wilderness, we are drawn back through the corridors of time to ancient Israel and her plains of the wild, the beasts that plagued the ancient people, and the hopes that have bound them together. In the midst of anguish and pain, stars of hope radiate out from a people that has their eyes fixed on God.
If you are anticipating for a dash of creative genius to infuse life into this ancient Hebrew tale, get this book, a full-coloured work that is sure to lighten up your spirits and warm your soul in remembrance of our collective heritage.
That is the story of the people of Israel. That is the story of King David, their hero, their song.
