How do you follow X-folk, Bat-people, Madmen and Mutant Street Beatniks? Maybe look to the heavens? With The Golden Plates, Mike Allred begins his most ambitious project to date: adapting the entire Book of Mormon in a series of graphic novels! Most everyone has heard of the Book of Mormon, but what is it exactly? Simply stated, The Book of Mormon is a record of people who left Jerusalem in 600 BC through to their destruction in Central America in 400 AD. Prophets passed down the record of the intrigue, wars, and visions on thin metal plates, including the most controversial aspect of the record, the appearance and ministry of the resurrected Christ in the Americas. Did these amazing things really happen? What is in this book that has, according to US News and World Report, inspired the fastest growing Faith in the World? This is a good place to start finding out for yourself. The first volume is an extra big 64 page installment that follows the Prophet Lehi from Jerusalem, the establishment of the plates, and spectacular visions of the future including the great vision of Nephi. In addition to illustrating the events, Allred is including various archeological and anecdotal evidence at the end of each volume which will blow your mind!
