Barney Bear Wakes Up

Al Hartley, a prolific artist known for his work on Archie Comics, wrote and drew this single-issue Christian-themed comic for Fleming H. Revell Company in 1977. It features Barney Bear, a gentle character who learns a moral lesson about waking up to the importance of faith and kindness. As a one-shot, it stands as a snapshot of the era's religious publishing for children.
