Synopsis
They came from the four corners of the earth, from every era of history and from all walks of life. Prophets and philosophers, pirates and kings, warriors and pacifists, they had nothing in common except their faith - and a willingness to die. They are the Christian Martyrs and these are their stories. Contains over 50 tales of peril and perseverance and as exciting as anything contemporary fiction has to offer! Each biography is told in comic form by some of the world's finest comic book writers and artists. Illustrated throughout.

Format:Taschenbuch
The cover may suggest that the book focuses on Catholic martyrs only. And that's true. The book exclusively deals with these stories, and lacks the humor and tawdriness of other books from the series (urban legends, losers, weirdos). I'm only keeping this one because it's part of the series. The illustrations are run-of-the-mill and, unless you are looking for a religious book, the stories are uninteresting. While I've certainly become more educated on the tales behind these famous saints, I had expected something else. Certainly there are Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, and other religious martyrs, as well as martyrs for the labor movement, the peace movement, etc. That might have made for a more interesting book. No attempt is made to get inside the minds of any of these saints, and because the writers did not develop these characters as real people, facing challenges to their faith, they all seem like fables. A little creative license might have shown us how difficult it was to die for their cause and let us sympathize with them more, giving them more flesh and realism. The book fails at that miserably. These aren't people. These are saints. The other Big Books seemed more plausible. Even the Urban Legends book. I guess one of the problems with buying online is you can't flip through the book and sample it. Too bad. Definitely the worst of the series.

In "The Big Book of Martyrs," Paradox Press takes a look at religion. Many saints of the Christian church have led amazing lives, and this volume covers some of them. It should inspire you no matter what you believe!
Format:Taschenbuch
While the rest Big book series handles subjects with more than normal dose of irreverance, this book shifts gears and handles the subject with all reverance due to the subject, while maintaining the seperation of legend and fact. The artwork is also respectful of the subject, and in all cases fitting. Noteworthy entries are the first Martyrs of Rome, with Gahan Wilson's appropriately grotesque images of Nero's atrocities, and Trina Roberts' good girl artwork for St. Agnes, the ultimate good girl.

Respectful and factual and accurate.
Most current books of this type belittle Christianity. This book is respectful. It carefully distinguishes fact from legend. Lesen Sie weiter...

Great for Catholic men and teens
As a devout Catholic I very much enjoyed The Big Book of Martyrs. It is done in black and white by fifty different artists. Lesen Sie weiter...
