The bible of comic books based on the Bible

For as long as there have been comics, there have been books of all different kinds. While many think of comics as superhero stories, there have also been horror books, war books, romances, detective stories, science fiction, fantasies, mysteries. Today that’s even more the case.

But one kind of comic that it can be hard to come by is religious comic books. For instance, you can certainly find retellings of ancient Jewish biblical stories or Catholic lives of the saints that are in comic book format. But generally these end up being something for children to use to learn bible stories.

When it comes to the Bible there are however, some really fine comic books out there, retelling stories both from the Hebrew Scriptures (which Christians refer to as the Old Testament) and the New Testament.
