Notable Christian Comics Series
The Standard Publishing Company Comics
"The Bible Visualized" comics series
(The "Life of... Visualized" comics)
Standard launched The "Bible Visualized" series in 1942.
That year "The Life of Jesus Visualized" was published as three softcover books of 48 pages each, including covers, and was distributed together in a cardboard wrapper or folder (shown here, at right).
Standard followed with "The Life of Joseph Visualized" in 1946, and two "New Testament Heroes - Acts of Apostles Visualized" comics in 1947. In that same year they also released "Parables Jesus Told" and "The Life of Esther Visualized," which may have been the final titles in the "Bible Visualized" series.
All three "Life of Jesus Visualized" books were reissued under one cover in 1970, along with "Parables Jesus Told."
"The Life of Jesus Visualized" has been translated into Japanese, French, and some African languages, reportedly.
Apparently all editions and versions of the "Bible Visualized" books are now out-of-print.
