The Bible and the Working Man

A single-issue comic published in 1944 by the Congress of Industrial Organizations, The Bible and the Working Man uses biblical parables and language to advocate for workers' rights and the value of labor unions. It reflects a unique moment when organized labor directly employed the comic medium for social and political education. While only one issue was produced, it stands as a notable artifact of mid-century labor history and the CIO's grassroots outreach.
