The Story of Checks

In The Story of Checks, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York published a seven-issue educational comic series from 1958 to 1979, using the medium to demystify the journey of a personal check through the banking system. Most frequently illustrated by the versatile Marie Severin, the series combined clear, friendly art with straightforward explanations of financial processes, making it a charming and historically significant example of institutional comics as public education.
