<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Harold B. Lee Library at BYU has an exhibit called <a href="https://sites.lib.byu.edu/news/2016/08/26/comics-mormons/" target="_blank">"Mormons and Comics"</a> going on until March 2017. If you've ever wanted to see an anthropomorphic Liahona or a missionary zapping the golden plates with a magic ring, you should definitely give it a visit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />The exhibit includes work from Noah Van Sciver, Sal Velluto, Brittany Long Olsen, Scott Hales, Mike Allred, and a lot of other famous and esoteric artists. You'll be amazed at the diversity of styles and subjects on display. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />There are a few videos featuring Stephen, and a great big quote from Jett. But the coolest thing about it is that right at the very front—right as you're walking in the door—there's a copy of iPlates in a glass box flanked by Book of Mormon action figures. We swear we didn't pay the curators to put us first, it just . . . happened.</span><br />

In fact, author Stephen Carter's face showed up in <a href="https://www.lds.org/church/news/new-colorful-interactive-exhibit-at-byu-features-comics-and-mormons?lang=eng" target="_blank">an article on LDS.org</a>, the Church's official website (though he looks a bit like he's doing Darth Vadar's strangle hold).<br />

Doug Gibson at the Ogden Standard-Examiner gave <i>iPlates: Volume I</i> a glowing review.<br />
<br />
Our favorite part: "Not only does Joe [Doug's seven-year-old son] insist I read a chapter of <i>Volume 1</i> to him each night,
he then grabs the slim comic book and reads the whole shebang himself."<br />

<br />
A few good quotes:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The iPlates collaboration is a particularly good example of how the comic book medium requires reader interaction. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Carter and Atwood are also good at visualizing characters who develop
through time. Young Zeniff the spy is fleshed out, as are the Lamanites
he had been taught to caricature. He matures and ages, as does his son
Noah. The drawings of the characters show how each person is a single,
continuous entity, even as his choices and experiences change and mold
him through time.</blockquote>

I never knew what motivated them. Why was Nephi righteous? Why was King Noah wicked? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did Chemish really have nothing interesting to say about his life? Maybe I missed the class on Book of Mormon characters at EFY. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br />

And it worked! I actually got so attached to Abinadi that I teared up when (spoiler alert for all those naughty people who haven’t actually read the Book of Mormon) I wrote his martyrdom scene.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br />

So don’t go telling your Sunday school teacher that (spoiler alert) Abinadi’s disguise of choice was an afro wig. It ain’t so. I use actual Book of Mormon events to structure the stories, but I make up most of the stuff in between.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"><br />
