The Picture Bible for All Ages #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume launches the classic illustrated retelling of the Bible, covering the Book of Genesis through the first half of Exodus. Originally serialized in comic-strip format, it presents key stories from the Creation account to the Israelites' departure from Egypt in a sequential art style designed for readers of all ages. The collection adapts the text faithfully while emphasizing narrative clarity and visual storytelling.
"In the Beginning," the opening story of The Picture Bible for All Ages #1 (1973), brings the biblical account to life with vivid, expressive artwork by Andre Le Blanc, whose dynamic pencils and inks capture the drama of the Exodus. Written by Iva Hoth and illustrated in full by Le Blanc, this first issue sets a powerful tone with its depiction of the Angel of Death and Pharaoh’s reluctant decree—only to show the moment the Hebrews begin their journey, and the pursuit that follows.
In "Raiders at Sodom," Abraham, Sarah, and Lot face a new trial as they journey toward Canaan, where the shadow of danger looms over the city of Sodom. With tensions rising between Abraham and Lot, the fragile peace is tested when raiders descend upon the region, forcing the trio to confront the consequences of their choices.
Jacob’s long journey leads him back to his father Isaac, rekindling a bond strained by time and distance. Meanwhile, Joseph’s gift for interpreting dreams sets him apart—and stirs deep resentment among his brothers, whose jealousy begins to boil over.
When Joseph’s brothers return to Egypt with Benjamin, tensions rise as Simeon is released—but their journey takes a sudden turn when they’re arrested for stealing a cup from the palace. The weight of suspicion falls on them, testing their loyalty and forcing them to face the consequences of a mystery they didn’t create.
