Comics and Inking - Wen's World

Just some samples of comics illustrations that I've done over the years.

These 3 are full-page comics I did under Wen's World Christian Comics (one of my IPs), which I use for faith-based storytelling.

The first one is inspired by something Pastor John MacArthur once said when answering an oft-asked question: "If God is good, why does He let bad things happen to good people?" His reply was, "What kind of a God lets the sinner live? A God who is a saviour by nature."



The second comic has Aly, an artist, tell Fav and Chris about the similarities between art and science, and the book of natural revelation through God's creation. It was inspired by 2 Bible verses:

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him,
and the son of man that you care for him?
- Psalm 8:3,4 ESV -

O LORD, our Lord,
         How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
- Psalm 8:9 NKJV -




The third one is based on a well-known song by Bill and Gloria Gaither called Because He Lives. I had actually lettered the captions but removed them in post because of copyright concerns as the song is not in the public domain. Nevertheless, those of you who are familiar with the song may notice that the lyrics of the first verse line up with the panels in this comic:

Because He Lives

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
