So now look, and see, and be moved!

Firstborn is a beginning, an origin story, the remarkable starting point for a remarkable life. Here is a graphic novel that shows, scene by scene, how the very pillars of Christianity were constructed. Firstborn, the inaugural adventure in The Last Adam graphic novel series, was translated by Father Mark Arey exclusively from ancient Gospel manuscripts. Father Mark brings a lifetime of deep study and biblical training to this monumental endeavor. His work has produced a narrative harmony that weaves the four Gospels into a single continuous story, of which Firstborn is the opening chapter. The magnificence of this foundational literature is realized through the exquisite and enchanting illustrations of artist Kai Carpenter. Adapted and edited by Matt Dorff, with letters and title designs by Carlton Riffel, Firstborn illuminates the story of Jesus' birth and early life through gloriously detailed and inspiring imagery.
