the passenger.

I just finished up reading Abandoned Cars (Fantagraphics) by illustoryteller Tim Lane. Insatiably, I found Lane's blog and pulled out this little gem of a short film titled, The Passenger.

It's a little hard to believe that Basil Wolverton was a devote Christian. I remember as a teenager bugging out on his cover illustrations for Mad Magazine thinking, this man is a freak! In 1941 he was baptized into the Hubert W. Armstrong Radio Church of God, one of these over the top evangelical clans heavy on apocalyptic themes. Wolverton became obsessed with illustrating a more honestly depicted bible story, that could put the fear of God into sinners. In 2009 The Wolverton Bible was released on Fantagraphics Books. The publication features a delightful introduction by Monte Wolverton (son), verses, snippets and illustrations of the old testament like you've always wanted it.
