Tales from the Great Book

    (Famous Funnies, 1955-1956)
™ and ©1955 Publishers Syndicate

The curious undertaking of producing a comic book version of the Bible has fascinated some publishers since the beginning of the comic book medium. One in the long line of attempts at this task was Tales from the Great Book, published by Famous Funnies during the mid-1950s. Tales from the Great Book started with the action-oriented blood and guts stories from the Old Testament, including the story of Samson in the lion’s den, and never seems to have made it much beyond that. The material is respectfully treated and the artwork by John Lehti keeps things moving at a brisk pace.
