Ignatius: The Quest for More

October 31, 2021

Ignatius: The Quest for More is a graphic novel which has been adapted from Ignatius' autobiography by:

Tobias Andrea (drawings)

"As a physicist, I approach the world and God with an analytical eye and a willingness to experiment. Ignatius fascinated me, as an ordinary human being who undertakes the quest for God with such passion and courage. I wanted to bring that out in my drawings."

Ricky Brenner (layout)

"I see my calling as giving shape to ideas and topics - maybe text, maybe an object, or maybe space, but I always want and hope to do is make it possible for everyone to discover something there."

Clemens Blattert SJ (general editor)

"As a Jesuit, I give people the space to encounter God. I love doing this because every day I see people discovering new aspects of themselves."

Originally published in German, Ignatius: The Quest for More has been translated into English by John Moffatt SJ.

The full, English-language version of the graphic novel will be released soon. Here is a sneak peek...
