Grammy Winner, Now Christian Comics Creator

God's Silver SoldiersThe local Mesquite News out of Mesquite, TX reported last month on a local-boy-done-good personality now putting his attention to Christian-inspired comics. Grammy-winner Art Greenhaw of the Light Crust Doughboys is trying his hand at comic books as editor and co-writer of God’s Silver Soldiers from Truthmonger Press.

Described on its site as “a creative entity whose mission is to bring the much-needed messages of mortality and spirituality to today’s youth through the medium of comicbooks [sic],” Truthmonger Press has premiered the God’s Silver Soldiers “visual novel” at the 2016 Comic-Con International. The series, described in its marketing materials as “approved by the Christian Comics Code Alliance,” features a band of do-gooders united by faith: “When God’s Silver Soldiers come together, the Holy Armor of God increases their strength a hundred fold, and they are able to call forth the powers given to these Christian Super Heroes  by The Almighty.”

Greenhaw, who counts “Stan Lee and artists Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Al Hartley, John Buscema, Ben Dunn and Kurt Schaffenberger” among his inspirations, also produced a companion soundtrack to the series.  He told Mesquite News that, if he wasn’t writing music or comics, he would likely be “reading, studying the greatest works of religion and philosophy and picking back up karate/martial arts.”
