The story of the life of Paul, made unfamiliar and new to those versed in it and simply compelling to those learning it for the first time.
"Blinded is as bold a work as Marked, consistently and fiercely inventive, but Steve Ross's determination to grapple with difficult truths is always matched by his compassion. He has made the story of Paul powerfully real--terrifying, playful, and very much alive for our time."
"But in his graphic novel, Blinded: The Story of Paul the Apostle (Seabury Books, 2008), writer and illustrator Steve Ross does something entirely different. He lets Paul rant and rave until he administers his own talking cure of sorts."
Steve Ross began his professional career as a teenager in San Antonio, Texas, selling pictures of angst-ridden, dark and disturbing surrealist art to his friends and teachers. After high school he soon landed a job drawing pictures of dining room tables for a local furniture company, and was surprised when the owner became upset that he was drawing dark and disturbing surrealist furniture for the company's newspaper ads. They parted company. Steve works as a professional illustrator and resides in New York City.
