The Life of Christ in Woodcuts

In 1930, Farrar & Rinehart published this single-issue series, a graphic retelling of the New Testament story through the stark, powerful woodcuts of artist James Reid. Though brief in length, the work stands as a striking example of early 20th-century religious sequential art, demonstrating how the comic form could serve devotional and artistic purposes. Its enduring reprint history speaks to the timeless appeal of Reid's visual storytelling.
