Finished up THE MYTHMAKERS by @johnhendrix.bsky.social a few days ago and I love that it still is bouncing around in my thoughts. As a fan of Tolkien and Lewis this book is a joy. Hendrix explores a fascinating story, and tells it magnificently.

@johnhendrix.bsky.social on his amazingly beautiful graphic novel on Tolkien & Lewis' journey and friendship. It's a work of art visually and narratively. youtu.be/8SOjUeEIQWY

I’m reading THE MYTHMAKERS - THE REMARKABLE FRIENDSHIP OF C.S.LEWIS & J.R.R.TOLKIEN by @johnhendrix.bsky.social and it is extraordinary—wondrous and imaginative and informative. And it gives me so much joy to follow the lion and the wizard on this journey through the lives of Lewis and Tolkien.

Finished "The Mythmakers" by @johnhendrix.bsky.social last weekend in essentially one session. What a wonderful book - heartwarming, encouraging, sometimes sad and melancholic. Wholeheartedly recommended.

St. Louis area locals! I'll be at @leftbankbooks.bsky.social with a whole gaggle of local creators including @johnhendrix.bsky.social @lackadaisy.bsky.social @jimousley.bsky.social and Dmitri Jackson (Frotoon Press). It's a great opportunity to hear from working artists and get your books signed!

A perfect afternoon read 📚 Really loving The Mythmakers by @johnhendrix.bsky.social , highly recommend! 👏🏼 #lotr #lordoftherings #tolkien #cslewis

At the New Year's Eve party I attended, conversation turned to Dietrich Bonhoeffer (as it does), so I had to recommend @johnhendrix.bsky.social THE FAITHFUL SPY to those gathered. #GraphicNovels are a hard sell to my age group!

There’s just a smidge of 2024 left. Calling it a night before the midnights. It finished the year off strong with one last GN for the year. @johnhendrix.bsky.social and his Mythmakers really blew my socks off. I have long obsession with Lewis and his works. This was an inspiration.

This is amazingly accurate - @johnhendrix.bsky.social totally nails it here

MYTHMAKERS: THE REMARKABLE FELLOWSHIP OF C.S. LEWIS & J.R.R. TOLKIEN - John Hendrix -- I didn't read Lord of the Rings or Narnia until I was in my twenties, but loved the worlds all the same. @johnhendrix.bsky.social 's graphic novel intertwines their creators lives, creations, and faith. #Booksky

Got my copy just in time for Christmas!

Realised that my literary diet has been formed of quite dry academic papers of late. This book by @johnhendrix.bsky.social has been a poignant read and visual delight over the Christmas break, and encouraged me to suggest better (i.e., more esoteric) names for the niche communities I start/join.

“The Mythmakers,” a joint biography of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, shows how their friendship helped them achieve the fullness of their creative capacities.
