About the series
Tales from the Great Book (1955–1956) was a short-lived, four-issue series from Eastern Color that retold stories from the Bible in a straightforward, illustrated format. Primarily written and drawn by John Lehti, with additional art by Mike Roy, the series aimed to present scriptural narratives in an accessible comic-book style during the mid-1950s. While not a landmark of the medium, it stands as a modest example of the era's religious-themed comics, offering a glimpse into how publishers of the time approached faith-based material for young readers.
