Shadowmancer
Another major success in Christian comics this
year has been the adaptation of G.P. Taylor’s
Shadowmancer novel. Shadowmancer was
published several years ago and became very
popular within the Christian bookstore market
as a sort of Christian “Harry Potter.”
Shadowmancer has a strong appeal to young
readers. The story is set in a fictional 18th century
time and place and concerns the struggle of
several young people against an enormous evil
personified by the malevolent Parson DeMurral,
an apostate prelate, who strives for the power
to challenge God Himself. The story is rendered
in a very professional animation-like style using
heavy shadows and the story seems to stick very
closely to the book. The comic is adapted by
Tony Lee with art by Pedro Delgado and coloring
by Eva de la Cruz. This is a comic strongest appeal
will be to tween and young teen boys. There have
been five issues published so far in this series
by new UK Publisher Markosia. Shadowmancer
is one of Markosia’s strongest offerings.
