Bible John-a Forensic Meditation




''Bible John-A Forensic Meditation'' was a Comic Book series written by Grant Morrison and drawn by Daniel Vallely which appeared in the Anthology title '' Crisis ''#56-61 in 1991.

PUBLISHING HISTORY

Bible John was an unknown Serial Killer who killed in Glasgow in the late 1960s. ''Bible John-A Forensic Meditation'' is a study by Morrison and Vallely into the nature of evil, as well as forming ideas as to why the killer committed his crimes. It has been compared to Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell 's '' From Hell '' as it covers similar themes.

The story was highly experimental in terms of story and art, with Vallely and Morrison claming to have used a Ouija Board to write the script and Vallely through a cocktail of hallucenogenic drugs attempted a series of Collages rather than conventional panels to tell the story. The term " Forensic Meditation " refers to Morrison's mixture of Science and Magic in order to tell the story.

The rumour is that Vallely destroyed most of his work after this collaberation and left the comic industry.

The story was serialised in ''Crisis'' from issues 56-61 and has tragically not been reprinted since.
