I had a chance to interview Sergio Cariello, the artist and illustrator of The Action Bible. We talked about

Sophia (my 6 year old) with her Action Bible

many of the comics that he has worked on such as, Batman, Daredevil, and Wonder Woman (a personal favorite).

Sergio also talked about how The Action Bible, formerly The Picture Bible, was important to him as a child growing up in Brazil and also when he became a Christian. Sergio had a copy of The Picture Bible as a child and it meant a lot to him, so being asked to work on The Action Bible was a dream come true for him. Sergio shared how David C. Cook Publishing had asked for a “tryout” of Sergio’s work and how Sergio had it finished in one day instead of using the whole week deadline that was given. We also spoke about being a Christian and working in the comic book industry, how sometimes you have to be a bit cautious on the projects that you work on, much like in all other jobs as well. Sergio’s biggest point is to keep the main thing, the main thing in your life, which for him & me, is Jesus. Jesus is the ultimate action hero and how we need to remember that as well.

As an added bonus, David C. Cook has graciously given me five copies of The Action Bible for giveaways! In order to be put in the giveaway, post a comment why you or someone that you love needs a copy of this great bible! The deadline is March 20th!
