About This Item
Old Tappan, NJ: Spire Christian Comics, Fleming H. Revell Company, 1976. Pamphlet. 32 unnumbered pages, color illustrations. Diagonal crease to front cover, mild edgewear, otherwise a bright and clean copy. A retelling of the story of the Prodigal Son. Pete cashes out his inheritance early, leaving his father and brother for hippie single bars in San Francisco and wild beach parties in Mexico (complete with mariachi) before his cash and credit dry up in a bar somewhere in South America (Pete takes on several lovers and crashes several planes while he's at it). The story closes with several Biblically-informed affirmations and advertisements for more Christian comics (including several with Archie characters, as Hartley also wrote and drew for Archie Comics). Al Hartley (1921-2003) was the son of congressperson Fred Hartley, Jr., namesake of the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act of 1947. Hartley became a born-again Christian in 1967, worked on Archie Comics, and helped start Spire Christian Comics in 1972.
