Frequently Asked Questions
What does “A.N.” Christian Comics stand for?
“A.N.” stands for “Arielle Namenyi”, the creator’s initials.
Are your books also for non-Christian readers?
MOST DEFINITELY. The stories themselves are technically just “stories” with the base having spiritual applications. While these applications may or may not be obvious to the reader during the story, there is a section at the end of every graphic novel that explains the spiritual analogies of the story. The reader can choose whether or not to read this section, but is there for those seeking the spiritual application.
