By Maryann Yin 

Pope Francis Cover (GalleyCat)Storm Entertainment has published a biographical comic book profiling Pope Francis. The 266th pope of the Roman Catholic Church stars in the newest installment of the Faith series.

Michael Frizell, a writer, worked on the story. Vincenzo Sansone, an illustrator, created the interior artwork and contributed one cover design. Pablo Martinena, an artist, produced a second cover design.

Frizell had this statement in the press release: “Much has been written about this pope already. My task as the writer of creative nonfiction comic books is to present my subject in an entertaining manner while attending to the spirit of the truth of a moment I couldn’t have witnessed.”
