Picture Stories from the Bible: New Testament

The 1986 Random House publication Picture Stories from the Bible: New Testament is a single-issue comic that adapts the New Testament into sequential art, continuing the tradition of M.C. Gaines' earlier 1940s Picture Stories from the Bible series. This edition focuses exclusively on the New Testament narratives, presenting them in a clear, educational format designed for a broad readership. While the original series is celebrated for pioneering the use of comics for biblical instruction, this standalone issue serves as a concise, respectful retelling of key events from the Gospels. It remains a niche but notable artifact of religious comics publishing.
