 This volume is intended to he not so much a survey of a sampler as a statement about the comic book at its best. Most of our choices are here because of our own convictions about their quality. We considered several thousand stories to make these selections.  To state the criteria for the selection process to a few words would be difficult, but we can say that we have compiled works whose creators have made use of the medium itself –who have made their words and pictures work together to achieve results not possible in any other medium.  All of the features in this book are comic-book originals.


A Century of Christian Leadership

 Since 1902 when we first opened our doors, The Himmelreich Library has been called "...the finest Christian library of its kind in the United States, and the second largest in the world." Now after a over century of Christian leadership, the library’s directors are re-purposing this unique 19th Century Christian institution as a "Library Without Walls" with worldwide outreach for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With a growing collection over 11,000 individual titles including Christian books, films, and music, The Himmelreich has reached tens of thousands across Pennsylvania's Susquehanna Valley.
