. The web is flooded with memorials in Brother Estrada's memory (he passed away Friday morning). Among them is this one, a posting of Peace with Honor.

Someone ought to write about Sandy Petersen and other LDS guys in the game industry.

No, and he doesn’t know who the other artists are. Since credit isn’t given, it’s a tough thing to research. I do recognize the artist who did the new NT version, but I haven’t been able to place him yet.

Interesting. I have good memories of the children’s scripture stories. (Which reminds me, I need to pick those up for my kids …) Did Ric Estrada do volumes other than the NT?

As was mine. Shortly before I knew who Ric Estrada was, I found the NT comics online and experienced some very pleasant nostalgia.

(Incidentally, earlier this month at LA Comicon there was a panel on Silver Age art that focused on Br Estrada’s work.)

I am happy to report that, coincidentally, my parents gave us their copy of the New Testament stories for children when we visited them last week because the LDS Bookstore didn’t have one in stock (we picked up a D&C one to go with our Book of Mormon one, which we’ve already read). So yeah, my daughter’s first major, sustained experience with the New Testament will feature Bro. Estrada’s work.
