Character Quote of the Week from HEROES AND VILLAINS: A PASTOR STEPHEN GRANT SHORT STORY

An exchange between Pastor Stephen Grant and Pastor Zack Charmichael in HEROES AND VILLAINS...

     “Tell me more about the author who is receiving a lifetime achievement award tonight?”
     “Wes Jenkins. He ranks as one of the great storytellers, as a writer and artist, in comic book history.”
     Stephen noted that Zack was ramping up the enthusiasm to provide the Jenkins’ bio.
     Zack continued, “Early on, he had great runs with some of the big DC and Marvel characters. But then he teamed up with Simon Huck to form J&H Comics Publishing. Fans and people in the industry thought Jenkins was nuts. No one predicted his subsequent burst... No, wait, ‘burst’ doesn’t capture it. No one predicted his outbreak or storm of creativity. He gave comic book fans dozens of heroes and villains, ranging from more classic, bright characters to dark, noir-ish ones. Jenkins’ creativity, coupled with Huck’s eye for bringing in complementary talent, launched J&H from nowhere to the third largest comics house.”
     “Impressive.”
     “You’ll appreciate the fact that Jenkins’ work is rich in biblical allegories, and Greek and Roman myths. He also likes to play with historical parallels.”
