Francis: Herald of the Great King
Introducing a new comic book on St. Francis’ early life in response to the special Jubilee Year on the occasion of the Eighth Centenary of the death of St. Francis of Assisi promulgated by Pope Leo XIV.
---
St. Francis of Assisi wanted to be a heroic knight, riding his horse into battle to save the day. Born into a wealthy merchant family, Francis had everything he ever needed to achieve his dream.
Yet, just as he was about to ride off to seize his victory on the battlefield, God turned his life upside down.
Instead of fighting for an earthly king, Francis was enlisted by a Heavenly King.
His quest for a chivalrous life turned into a sacrificial mission as a poor herald, proclaiming the Gospel to the world and making way for the Great King.
Be inspired by a man filled with extraordinary joy in the face of every opposition, freely choosing to give-up everything for the sake of the Kingdom.
Before the release of this comics book, my most favorite comics book and the most complete of St. Francis’ story is Marvel’s Francis: Brother of the Universe (His Complete Life’s Story). I think I’ve found the contender to the Marvel one. I can’t wait to read the next release!! Beautiful artwork, great scripts, and very true to the Saint’s story! Highly recommended!
Francis: Herald of the Great King is wonderful. The illustrations are fantastic and the telling of St. Francis' young life and conversion is well done. I'm looking forward to more of St. Francis' story.
The story of Francis life brought a wanting to my heart. He has helped me to open my heart more and more to the Lord our true King. I am looking forward to more stories about Francis and his life with the brothers.
Just finished reading Francis: Herald of the Great King e-book. A great story of a not-so-saintly man becoming foolish, in the eyes of the world, for God. We are all chasing something, but St Francis's life shows us, maybe we should be aiming a little higher. Great explanations and content at the end of the comic. Thoroughly enjoyed it and will be passing my hard-copy comic on to a young reader.
I was expecting more on the ministry of St Francis. I bought this for my grandson who attends St Francis of Assisi grade school. Thought he could share it in the classroom. After we read it, I told him that maybe there would be additional Publications covering his later life. Unbeknownst to me, his teachers teach about St Francis in the classroom. My grandson was not surprised by the content. He said that his teachers always say that as a young man St Francis was a "Real Jerk!" This book leans in that direction. I don't see the benefit of stopping the book without showing the results of ministry.

from 1347 reviewsI had stopped reading comics because I didn't really see God in them. Voyage Comics has found a way to have amazing, entertaining comic books while still giving honor and praise to God. Would definitely buy from them again!!
My 12 year old brother loves graphic novels. I purchased both Finnian volumes for his birthday, and he read the entire first volume in two days. He said he couldn't put it down and that the Finnian stories were his new favorite graphic novels!
Personally, I love the moral clarity between good and evil plus how Catholic themes are woven into an engaging story. The pages after each issue explaining some of the authors' inspirations (including Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and real history) deepen the stories' impact.
Would highly recommend!
Really enjoyable story that features a boy meeting Padre Pio and his guardian angel. This story weaves together and shows what it would have been like to meet Padre Pio in person. A really neat idea and a fun read!
This new trilogy Voyage has started is very engaging and left me wanting more! A great relatable teaching tool for the youth to help them realize the importance of their first Confession and Holy Communion. It is also an eye opener, through the great visuals provided, of the reality of our Guardian Angel. The interactions between the main character, Atti, and his Guardian Angel, are great reminders of how truly present our Guardian Angel is, even in the most ordinary moments of life. I really appreciate the focus of this series to reveal to young ones a supernatural world that actually exists and constantly surrounds us! I also found the interactions of the main character, Atti, with St. Padre Pio very fun and a great way to introduce children to this awesome Saint!
My 8-year-old son snatched up "Fear Nothing" when he saw it on my desk and disappeared for half an hour. When he came back holding the comic book, he said, "Wow. This priest was a superhero! That was a good book."
Just to reiterate: 8 year old boy. Superhero priest. Good book. Half an hour of reading.

Thanks Kevin for writing this inspiring little book about Fr Al Schwartz. Young people especially need role models of heroes who loved our Lord and helped others. I will be giving this to my nieces and nephews for Christmas.
Working with some children, have found their eyes tend to glaze when offered to read to them, or ask them to read, a "religious" book. This is not so with Voyage Comics. The comic format and excellent artwork peak interest. Storylines are well written. The pictures and the storyline add to the reality - person(s) described are real; not fictional characters. Appreciate that the content is faithful to our Catholic teachings.
The wholesome, beautiful stories contained in Treasure Chest Volume One are perfect for every age group. Lots of variety with a consistent Catholic theme. Highly recommended!
My boys, ages 9 through 13, absolutely LOVE Voyage Comics! “Miracles of the Eucharistic” gives them a pictorial representation to form in their developing imaginations the sublime majesty of Our Lord bringing Himself to us in the Most Holy Sacrament. Keep making more, Voyage Comics!
We always learn so much about the faith in your Treasure Chest issue. This year because of your magazine, our family decided to participate in the St Martin Fast. Praying for you and yours! A very Merry Christmas!
We read this comic to the Vacation Bible School children ages 5-10 and their parents and we nearly ran out of scapulars for all the parents and children that were desirous of making a generous gift of themselves to Jesus through Mary in the Brown Scapular enrollment. Praised be Jesus Christ! Prayerfully written and produced! It inspired me greatly hearing the messages of Our Lady. Thank you!
I got three: for my son and two brothers. The first brother loved it so much that he requested the book; he didn't realize that Saint Christopher was such an interesting figure.
Thank you so much for making comics that are faith filled. My children love Vovage Comics. They are beautifully made and enjoy that our kids can enjoy their faith in yet another avenue through comics. These comics allow our children to fall deeper in love with their faith.
This appeals to the Junior High and High School age kids meeting them where they are with St.Joan of Arc’s incredible story. Kids need a hero and she’s it!!!
This comic book has a very pulp era feel too it. With Spider man/ Daredevil vibe.
