I recently read all 144 pages of this graphic novel to my three-year-old daughter, and she loved it (even though some of it is over her head):
Susan K. Leigh. Luther: The Graphic Novel; Echoes of the Hammer. Illustrated by Dave Hill. St. Louis: Concordia, 2011.
This 32-page sample PDF illustrates the book’s format and style.
The story has five parts:
- Luther’s Early Years
- Luther the Heretic
- Luther the Outlaw
- Martin and Katie
- The Reformation Continues
It’s published by Concordia Publishing House, the publisher of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, so I’m guessing they know something about Luther.
