Serra: American Founding Father

In the single 1987 issue of Serra: American Founding Father, Franciscan Communications presents a biographical comic honoring Father Junípero Serra, the Spanish missionary who established California's mission system. Illustrated by veteran artist John Tartaglione, this one-shot explores Serra's journey from Mallorca to the New World and his role in founding the California missions. As a faith-based historical comic, it offers a reverent, educational portrait of a controversial figure in American colonial history.
