Tullus and the Ransom Gold

In 1974, David C. Cook published the single-issue comic Tullus and the Ransom Gold, a religious-themed adventure that stands as a brief, self-contained entry in the publisher’s line of faith-based storytelling. The comic follows the titular Tullus, a character drawn from biblical-era fiction, as he navigates a plot involving a ransom of gold—likely weaving moral lessons into its ancient setting. Though a lone issue, it represents the kind of educational, values-driven comics that David C. Cook produced during the 1970s, aiming to blend entertainment with Christian instruction for young readers. Its obscurity today makes it a niche curiosity for collectors of religious comics from that era.
