LEARN MORE

A stunning visual autobiography fused with the Exodus story and set at the fabled sea- side attractions of Brighton Beach and Coney Island, in Brooklyn, NY.

Offering 96 hand-painted and digitally augmented pages in full color, this startling work is both an artist’s catalog raisonné and comic book sequential art. The beach of Silverstein’s youth, the Brighton shoreline from the 1970s- 2010s, is melded with images of Ancient Egypt, the Sinai wilderness, evocations of comic books and film stills to tell the story in a new and startling way. The Brighton Beach Bible is a singularly unified vision of Pop resonance, art, transformation, and renewal.
