Rob Liefeld's sci-fi Bible

Thursday, November 19, 2009

Rob Liefeld was a big-deal mainstream comics artist in the '90s, churning out seriously ugly-ass superhero stories that have aged about as well as the music of Milli Vanilli. Perhaps you'll be surprised to learn that he's since branched out with Armageddon Now, a series of Left Behind-y books about the End Times. But that vision of apocalypse sounds sadly prosaic compared to Testament, a sci-fi Bible "reimagining" that Liefeld apparently worked on for years.



Check out his very original take on Noah (click to embiggify):



Rebooting the Bible? Well, you can't fault Liefeld for ambition. "Why can't the Bible look as cool as Star Wars was the question I based this on." Why indeed, Rob? Why indeed.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
