Religion & Spirituality
Four decades ago, Marvel produced several religious-themed comic books, including a comic about the life of Pope St. John Paul II.
On this episode of CNA Newsroom, we criss-cross the globe to bring you the story of how— and why— one of the world’s biggest comic book companies decided to bring the stories of three beloved saints to the world.
This episode first aired in May 2020.
