About The Author

Born in Brazil, Sergio Cariello spent many childhood hours poring over The Picture Bible (Portuguese edition), never dreaming that decades later he would illustrate the updated edition of The Action Bible. Sergio has worked for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, and has illustrated Batman, Spider-Man, Superman, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, and dozens more characters. He loves to fly drones and attend comic book conventions to stay connected with his peers and fans, but he especially enjoys telling people about Jesus through his illustrations and teaching God's Word when he travels.

This is aimed at kids/tweens so the stories are simplified. That said, enjoyable by anyone of any age I think (depends on what mindset you approach it with?). Great artwork/lettering/use of colour, including people’s ethnicities/clothes etc. A new way of experiencing the Bible at a time when I didn’......more
