People look at images much more than text. This is where the comic book Jesus Messiah plays well.
The motivation to introduce people to the gospel through picture stories is very much alive.
Images speak strongly. You need 2 seconds to keep remembering an image. In the same time, you can only remember 5 to 10 words.
Research in advertising indicates that 60 to 80 percent of people interact with images, 10 to 15 percent with text.
In our country, 2.6 million people aged 15 or older cannot read or read poorly. That’s 1 in 6 people.
Worldwide, 25 percent of people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 880 million people. There are 60 million more illiterate people each year. The percentage of low-literates is many times higher.
Comic book Jesus Messiah is in a rich tradition.
