Eye Witness

Eye Witness follows forensic archaeologist Dr. Terry Harper as he investigates an ancient tomb discovery in Jerusalem. The scientific expedition becomes intertwined with supernatural events that challenge his atheistic worldview.

The book combines elements of archaeological thriller, historical fiction, and spiritual journey in a graphic novel format. Black and white illustrations merge with text to create both modern and historical scenes. This work explores themes of faith versus science, the nature of evidence, and how personal beliefs shape our interpretation of facts. The parallel storytelling structure raises questions about how ancient events echo through time and influence the present.
