San Diego, CA (PRWEB) July 08, 2015 -- The largest pop-culture entertainment event in the world, THE COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: SAN DIEGO 2015 kicks off this week with sellout attendance of more than 125,000. The CHRISTIAN COMIC ARTS SOCIETY (CCAS) is honored to partner with B&H Kids to deliver top talent, projects, and compelling events open to all Comic-Con attendees, as well as the official announcement of VeggieTales Super Comics 3 & 4, and the re-launch of the Bibleman franchise.

We love VeggieTales and have had a great time bringing the brand to the comic format for the first time. We’re also excited to be bringing back Bibleman, which for 2 decades has been a key brand in the Christian market and has reached millions of children

Post this

Produced by B&H Kids in partnership with Big Idea/Dreamworks, VeggieTales Super Comics Volumes 3 and 4 are scheduled for an October 2015 release date. Each comic includes three stories, including an all-new LarryBoy tale, and 96 pages of full-color original illustrations by artist Cory Jones. Jones will be a featured guest at the CCAS Mixer and on the Spirituality in Comics panel at the show. He will be signing a limited number of books at the CCAS booth (Small Press area #P-08). Volumes 1 and 2 in the series were released in February 2015.

Dan Lynch, publisher for B&H Kids, said, “We love VeggieTales and have had a great time bringing the brand to the comic format for the first time. We’re also excited to be bringing back Bibleman, which for two decades has been a key brand in the Christian market and has reached millions of children. The re-launch of Bibleman in the fall of 2016 will feature state-of-the-art animation joined with cutting-edge writing and good humor to give the brand a modern look and appeal. We know the kids who grew up with VeggieTales and Bibleman will love introducing their children to these popular characters.”

The new Bibleman animation series will be announced at Comic-Con. It is being produced in partnership with P23 Entertainment Inc., located in Toronto, Canada. Originally introduced in 1995 as primarily a live-action video with other branded books and toys, Bibleman was later sold to Thomas Nelson, which produced additional live-action videos, and was then acquired by B&H Kids in the fall of 2013.

Christian Comic Arts Society in partnership with VeggieTales Super Comics will be hosting three events as part of the official Comic-Con programming, and will exhibit throughout the convention in the Small Press area #P-08.
