Plot
In Joseph Smith and the Mormons, author and illustrator Noah Van Sciver, who was raised a Mormon, covers one of history's most controversial figures, Joseph Smith-who founded a religion which is practiced by millions all over the world.
The book discusses all of the monumental moments during Smith's life, including the anti-Mormon threats and violence which caused his followers to move from New York to Ohio, Smith's receiving the divine commandment of plural marriage, his imprisonment, his announcement to run for president of the United States, and his ultimate murder by an angry mob in 1844 at the young age of 38.
With a respectful and historical approach, and strikingly illustrated, this graphic novel is perfect for those curious about the origins of the Mormon faith and the man who started it all.

Se me hace difícil describir esta obra. La compré porque me encanta el trabajo de Noah Van Sciver (el buen Van Sciver), pero sinceramente esperaba otra cosa... aunque no sé bien qué exactamente. La historia es la biografía de Joseph Smith, fundador de la religión mormona (o de los Santos etc. etc.) que hizo después de una larga investigación, intentando ser honesto sin ningún fanatismo, y eso está perfecto. La narración visual y los diálogos están muy bien hechos pero la historia se me hacía aburrida, supongo por mis propios prejuicios. Quería que me gustara más. Por otro lado, la edición está increíble, parece una biblia antigua. Probablemente el cómic mejor editado que he comprado en muchos años.
