The Life of Christ

    (Marvel, 1993)
™ and ©1993 Marvel Entertainment Group

Keeping with its commitment to including religious titles in its line, such as 1982’s The Life of Pope John Paul II, in 1993 Marvel published The Life of Christ. As expected, the comic book follows the original biblical story, but includes two charming additions to add appeal for young readers. Young Rifka Gettel finds shelter for Joseph and Mary in her parents’ stable; the same stable in which Jesus is later born. The three wise men also have an eager young helper, Terah, who gives the baby Jesus his one and only possession—a flute.
