Press Release

The foundational account of the man who changed the world forever, ORIGIN is the debut graphic novel in the much-anticipated MESSIAH series. Translated by Mark Arey with script adaptation by Matt Dorff and published by Zondervan, a division of HarperCollins Christian Publishing, Origin adds a visual perspective to scripture, meeting the growing demand for graphic novels in the faith arena. 


Messiah: Origin will be available in retail stores and online on October 9, 2013.   Messiah: Origin is a starting point in the biography of Jesus.  Scene by scene, Origin describes how the very pillars of Christianity were constructed.  Through prophetic visions, miracles, angelic visitations, wondrous births and unbreakable family bonds, Jesus’s epic story begins.   

Translated by Mark Arey exclusively from ancient Greek manuscripts, Origin weaves the four gospels into one story.  Arey’s lifetime of deep study and biblical training, when paired with the illustrations of Lucasfilm Prize Winning artist Kai Carpenter, create a gloriously detailed telling of the Savior’s birth and early life up to the start of his ministry.  Adapted and edited into graphic novel orm by Matt Dorff (Book of Revelation), with letters and title design by Carlton Riffel, Origin creates a journey into the history told in scripture, unique in both story and accuracy.  

“Our early market success in paring the scriptures with illustrations in a graphic novel format is encouraging and we are grateful to be working with such gifted creative talent,” explains Chip Brown, Sr. Vice President and Group Publisher for Zondervan.  “Messiah: Origin is high-quality, hand painted fine art, worthy of gallery presentation, and there are over 288 rich illustrations throughout the book."  

Zondervan will be showcasing Messiah: Origin at the upcoming New York Comic Con, the East Coast’s biggest and most exciting popular culture convention.  Held October 10-13 at the Javits Center in Midtown Manhattan, NYCC has been ranked by Crain’s New York Business as the second largest event in New York City.  The Javits Center is located at 655 West 24th Street, New York, New York.  Messiah: Origin will be showcased at booth 2125.  

Messiah: Origin will be available in stores and online October 9, 2013 and will retail for $19.99.  Origin is published by Zondervan.
