Picture Stories from the Bible New Testament

In 1946, EC Comics launched a reverent two-issue series adapting the New Testament, written primarily by Edward L. Wertheim and Montgomery Mulford with art by Don Cameron. Though brief, it stands as a notable early example of a major publisher treating biblical stories with serious, illustrated storytelling rather than cartoonish flair. This series matters as a quiet milestone in EC’s pre-horror era, showcasing the publisher’s versatility before its shift to the shock titles that would define its legacy.
