Lynd Ward was an American artist. He made God’s Man in 1929. It is a wordless novel, meaning there are no words, only pictures. The story is about a young artist who gets a magic paintbrush. This brush gives him success, but it also brings problems. He struggles with money, love, and freedom. In the end, he tries to escape but meets a tragic fate.
Ward used a special art style called Expressionism. His pictures are black and white with strong shadows. They create deep emotions and tell the story in a powerful way. He was inspired by German artists like Frans Masereel.
God’s Man is important because it was one of the first graphic novels in America. It influenced many artists, including Will Eisner. Even today, people admire Ward’s work because it looks beautiful and tells a strong story.
