“JESUSFREAK is less inspired by any strict religious traditions and is instead more concerned with exploring the unique tension that exists between depicting a mythical figure and a historical figure—a tension that is compounded when, for many, they’re considered the same person,†said writer and co-creator Joe Casey. “It’s also a chance for Marra and I to indulge in a specific style of hard pulp storytelling that we think perfectly fits this material.â€
“I’ve followed Joe Casey’s career as a writer for over a decade, and so I jumped at the opportunity to work with him and to push myself as an artist into unfamiliar areas with this book,†said artist and co-creator Benjamin Marra. “My aim with JESUSFREAK is to channel the energy and storytelling of artists like Paul Gulacy, Frank Miller, and Klaus Janson to deliver a very different kind of historical fiction.â€
