They landed in the country of the Gadarenes and were met by two madmen, victims of demons, coming out of the cemetery. The men had terrorized the region for so long that no one considered it safe to walk down that stretch of road anymore. Seeing Jesus, the madmen screamed out, "What business do you have giving us a hard time? You're the Son of God! You weren't supposed to show up here yet!" Off in the distance a herd of pigs was browsing and rooting. The evil spirits begged Jesus, "If you kick us out of these men, let us live in the pigs.

I love that the demons remind me of zombies. It makes me think of my three favorite "zombie" parts of the Bible:
Ezekiel 37: Valley of dry bones
Matthew 27: v 52- The saints get up
Isaiah 49:26 - Drunk on their blood
I love zombies.
Tim. You're latest illustrations are amazing. I like the calm silhouettes approaching in the Legion drawing. Also, the chaotic and rough style really emphasize the torment that man was in before Jesus saved him. Great work!
