Let's talk about it.
FAITH WALKER History Clip
The Seed: New to the ministy, Clint Johnson was using his talents of illustration and design to assist with church flyers and programs. As a serious comic enthusiast the comic book influence was evident in his approach to visuals. One swift chain of events gave birth to Clint's passion-FAITH WALKER. Deacon David Bell of World Won For Christ Ministries suggested that new member Clint Johnson use his talent as a ministry. The seed was planted and the creative proccess took root. Shortly, Johnson encounted Publisher Annie Pierce and pitched the idea of a scripture quoting street walker who would confront the ills of the community. Having a working relationship in place from the past, the door swung open and Faith Walker put on his first pair of walking shoes. In 1990 The Community Circle Clipper gave Faith Walker his stomping grounds as ground breaking black and white strip.
The Journey: Creator Clint Johnson is bringing characters, ideas, and products that not only stimulate the mind but also speak to the heart. The Frontline character created by Clint is Faith Walker: street preacher, law-enforcer, and urban hero, ran as a comic strip in a local newspaper and independent distribution from 1990-1994. Then later was followed up with an off broadway production based on the strip, which was accompanied by a Faith Walker comic book. The comic was created to pick up and transition where the comic strip ended. Matthew Cross later appeared in the graphic anthology, “New Visions” which experienced a complete sell-out of its first printing. The anthology was co-published by New Creations Publications and ClearVision Communication. In 2008 Johnson partnered with New Creation Entertainment (newcreationnow.com) and released select Matthew Cross: Faith Walker's pages as an ongoing webcomic. As the journey continues, there are new trails to tread on. Let's walk together.
