Description

This volume collects over thirty years worth of comic stories from the classic Sunday school "take-home paper," PIX, published from the late 1940s through the '70s. In addition to presenting accurate re-tellings of popular Old and New Testament stories, this collection offers a unique opportunity to own the illustrated work of Andre Le Blanc (1921-1998), one of comics' unsung golden age masters. Le Blanc was a longtime collaborator on Will Eisner's The Spirit and Sy Berry's The Phantom, as well as an artist on classic strips including Flash Gordon, Apartment 3-G and Rex Morgan, MD. He was the recipient of the prestigious Southern Cross Award — the highest honor that can be bestowed upon a citizen for his illustrations of classic literature — in his native country of Brazil. He was a longtime teacher at The School of Visual Arts in New York City.
