BATMAN IS JESUS by Siku: Graphic Novel Meet Personal Faith

Siku Banner

Through the visual language of superhero archetypes, artist-theologian Siku demonstrates a contemporary method of engaging with the Bible.

With Batman is Jesus Siku introduces the concept of Narrative Theology that informs his unique work and ministry. Through the visual language of superhero archetypes, legends, and lore, he demonstrates a contemporary method of engaging with the Bible that resonates with how the Hebrew sages and prophets of pre-antiquity read Scripture. This one-of-a-kind personal treatise on spirituality is presented in full color as a mix of text and Siku’s dynamic artwork and comic-style illustration.

Siku is an artist, author, theologian, musician, and one of Britain’s leading comic book/concept artists, having created the bestselling The Manga Bible and worked for 2000AD as artist on titles such as Judge Dredd and Slaine. He has also worked for Marvel UK and COM X, and developed video games as Visuals Director, winning an IGN award for innovation. He has appeared on several national TV shows in the UK, from The Big Breakfast to Songs of Praise, and on radio, Sunday Worship, presenting Daily Service, and writing the 2017 Easter opera At the Foot of the Cross, all on BBC Radio 4. He has twice been runner-up in the Sermon of the Year contest and has been a nominee for the Jerusalem Trust’s Award for Innovation.
