Decades in the making and already generating advance praise, an original graphic novel biography about the life of Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Latter-Day Saints

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 the ultimate book for those curious about the origins of the Mormon faith and the man who started it all.

Noah Van Sciver nasceu numa família de "santos dos últimos dias", e cresceu para fora dessa religião. Escreveu esse livro como exercício catártico, e nele conta a história da vida de Joseph Smith, desde os seus dias antes de ser profeta, passando pelas revelações celestiais e tudo o que daí adveio, até ao momento da sua morte, sem nunca me fazer sentir que a escrita estava de alguma forma enviesada a favor ou contra o caráter da pessoa, quase como um ato jornalístico, para que os escritores tirem as suas próprias conclusões. Recomendo, sinto que foi uma leitura enriquecedora, e que aprendi muito sobre esta religião sobre a qual nada sabia.
