500    "Originally published in single magazine form in Punk Rock
       Jesus 1-6." 
520    A reality TV show starring a clone of Jesus Christ causes 
       chaos across the U.S. of the near future in PUNK ROCK 
       JESUS, a new graphic novel written and drawn by Sean 
       Murphy, the acclaimed illustrator of JOE THE BARBARIAN and
       AMERICAN VAMPIRE. J2 causes both outrage and adulation. 
       Religious zealots either love or hate the show, angry 
       politicians worry about its influence on the nation, and 
       members of the scientific community fear the implications 
       of cloning a human being at all, let alone the Son of God.
       Thomas McKael is the clones's bodyguard and former IRA 
       operative, who despite his turbulent past is hired to 
       protect the new Jesus?a baby who captivates the world, but
       grows up to become an angry teenager. When falling ratings
       force the network to cut Jesus's mother from the series 
       the young star runs away, renounces his religious heritage
       and forms a punk rock band. And what starts off as 
       babysitting for Thomas becomes an epic battle, as Jesus 
       goes to war against the corporate media complex that 
       created him. Along with his artistic credits on JOE THE 
       BARBARIAN and AMERICAN VAMPIRE: SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST, 
       Murphy also wrote and illustrated the graphic novel OFF 
       ROAD (Oni Press), and cowrote OUTER ORBIT (Dark Horse 
       Comics).
