1704
Robert Wringhim is a religious young man who, raised under an extreme version of Calvinist doctrine, believes that he is predestined for Heaven and can do no wrong in the eyes of God. Under this dangerous delusion, he is enticed by his new friend, the mysterious Gil-Martin, into committing a series of monstrous crimes.
1823
Over a hundred years later, Wringhim’s grave is uncovered and his written confessions are found by Dr Alexander Grieve, a man who is driven to piece together the truth from among the legends.

'A Justified Sinner' will be a graphic novel series based on James Hogg's 1824 novel, 'The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner'. Writing and art are being developed by MJ Burns, an artist and writer from Scotland.
At the moment, the project is in development - this website will track the progress of the project through the picture gallery, and through semi-regular blog posts from the creator.
If you would like to support the project, follow, like, retweet, and share or comment on social media. This kind of engagement really helps boost the algorithm and helps to spread the word to get the project out there.
In the future, there will be a Kickstarter campaign, but at this stage in the development, social media engagement is invaluable.
Thank you for your support and interest!
