God's Smuggler

Al Hartley adapted Brother Andrew’s bestselling biography into a single, dramatic comic for Fleming H. Revell Company in the 1970s. This graphic novel follows a Dutch missionary’s perilous Cold War-era efforts to smuggle Bibles behind the Iron Curtain. Hartley both wrote and illustrated the entire issue, bringing a tense, cinematic style to the true story of faith under oppressive regimes. It stands as a notable example of the publisher’s venture into faith-based comics.
