The Hiding Place

A single-issue graphic novel adaptation of Corrie ten Boom’s bestselling memoir, this 1973 release from Fleming H. Revell Company brings her harrowing World War II story to the comics page. Writer-artist Al Hartley, working with ten Boom and Elizabeth Sherrill, translates the account of the Dutch watchmaker’s family who hid Jews from the Nazis—and her subsequent imprisonment at Ravensbrück—into a poignant, accessible visual narrative. It stands as a notable example of faith-based comics from the era, offering a sincere, non-sensationalized take on a true story of courage and resilience.
