About the Author

Award winning graphic novelist, Robert James Luedke has been involved in one way or another in the comic/graphic novel industry since 1989. From 2002 through 2010, he created the Eye Witness series of graphic novels, as his way of presenting the Gospel stories to young adult readers in a way that is both appealing and approachable.

His goal with the series, is to entertain while also enlightening readers by combining the spiritual with the dramatic and the historical. Luedke's hope is, that this series will not only appeal to Christians, but more so to those who may not be church goers or have never even picked up a Bible!

Editorial Reviews

"Luedke has used the graphic novel in a new and exciting way. He really makes the Bible come alive."

James Barnes

"There is excitement and adventure as well as biblical truths in 'Acts of the Spirit'. Unlike some Christian items that have been produced in the past that don't live up to their secular counterparts, the color and artistic style of this novel are excellent with some fantastic detail for comic collectors. The writing is not afraid to be daring or confrontational and the story in the 21st Century adds interest and intrigue."

Rob Allright

"As a long time Christian and comic fan, I have been waiting for a contemporary Gospel adaptation of the book of Acts. ‘Acts of the Spirit' is it. Other companies have tried to present the message and managed to drown it out with cultural clichés. Not so with Head Press. Bang on. Top shelf. Home run. Slam-dunk. This is the real thing!"
