This incredible review of The Mythmakers (review by Lev Grossman!) in the NYT has left me crying in a NYC Starbucks. nytimes.com/2024/09/27/boo…
First copies of my book are here!! As a new faculty member, I realized that in addition to my research job, I also had a leadership job…and I wasn’t prepared for that. This book is the guide I wish I’d had then, with the goal of helping others now. jenheemstra.com/book

@hendrixart I’m assuming I’ve got the role as voice of Tollers? But I can totally ping a self-tape over to the studio 😜
My setup for burley burning and book reading in the summertime Deep South. Required: Fan, insect trap, partially frozen Coke zero. Today’s reading is “The Mythmakers” by @hendrixart.
I have another one for you too
When I take my kids to the library, I always head to the kids biography section to see if I can’t sneak in some history to their haul. But last week I picked this one up just for me. ☺️ @hendrixart
Got given some book vouchers, treated myself this brilliant book. “The Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien” by @hendrixart. It’s a stunner that looks at how these two men helped shape each others worlds to create timeless stories. Fabulous

Great article in the San Diego Union Tribune on the Eisners, and the Mythmakers, and the rise of graphic non-fiction! @WashUSamFox @ABRAMSbooks sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/07/23/ami…
Fantastic news! @Collider announced that #TheMythmakers by @hendrixart is headed to the big screen! The film is set to release under Aaron Burns’ Burns & Co. with acclaimed filmmaker, Justin Strawhand attached to the project. Check out the article here: bit.ly/3UvsALi
read the book and find out
Lewis was 5'11" and Tolkien was 5'9." A Catholic must have designed this. Smh.
It’s a good one, for sure! I only had an arc copy, but I sent a finished hardcover to my C.S. Lewis/Tolkien fan SIL. I ❤️ THE FAITHFUL SPY even more-the history +@hendrixart use of color, graphics to emphasize details from Bonhoeffer’s life. Gave my history teacher son a copy.
whoa. Such a great book, can't wait to see what they do with it!
Big news:
Tip! Deze nieuwe graphic novel!! 😇😇 van #JohnHendrix #Mythmakers #CSLewis #JRRTolkien
