Moonbeam Bobby


The Story: Moonbeam Bobby is the story of Bobby Moonbeam, a pre-teen boy who lives on the moon. Bobby hates his name and he hates living on the moon. He wants to go to earth because he imagines life there to be everything it is not on the Moon.


Spiritual Emphasis: To entertain and educate and to encourage. Believers, especially younger believers, often feel like they are alone in the way they think and believe. Moonbeam Bobby is intended to encourage young believers to stay strong in their beliefs!

Action Figures




The Story: Five 13-year-olds are transformed into living, life-sized action figures.


Spiritual Emphasis: The key for this series is to encourage non-violent problem solving. Comic books tend to resolve conflicts with fists and force. This series is intended to represent the other end of the spectrum.

Xian: Voyage of the Pilgrim




The Story: It’s Pilgrim’s Progress told through the lens of Star Wars, as young Xian must navigate an allegoric world of strange creatures and giant robots.


Spiritual Emphasis: Pilgrim’s Progress has long been hailed as one of, if not THE, greatest Christian allegory in history (excepting, of course, Jesus’ own parables). It was also written not long after the King James Version of the Bible, making its language and some of its ideas inaccessible and incomprehensible to the general reader. The idea behind XIAN: VOYAGE OF THE PILGRIM is to take the allegories and adventures of young Christian and translate them for an audience weaned on Star Wars and The Matrix and comic book/manga adventures.

Angel


The Story: A rebellious teenage girl has sent her guardian angel packing, and gets another angel to replace him. Only this new angel isn't all that angelic.


Spiritual Emphasis: You reap what you sow. Though God’s grace and mercy are boundless, his laws are not. They have boundaries that when crossed expose a person to the increased interference and harassment by one who has no mercy or grace.

Dino Hunter


The Story: In the early 1920s a young, single college biology professor becomes guardian to his teenage niece and nephew who coax him into a series of adventures tracking evidence of modern-day dinosaur sightings. Meanwhile there are those who do not want them to succeed.


Spiritual Emphasis: To entertain, educate, and edify teens and spark this debate: Is the Bible really true or does science have all the right answers?
