Entrepreneur develops Catholic comic books

Published: 2006-03-13

ST. LOUIS (CNS) -- There's a new line of comic books out, but the "superheroes" featured in each issue don't have X-ray vision, super strength or the ability to fly. Instead, they have a power most parents would much rather their children read about -- faith. "Stories of the Saints," published monthly by Arcadius Press, is a four-book packet of comics, each featuring the life of a different saint. "For example, a recent packet had St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Joan of Arc and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton," said Tony Sansone III, chief operating officer of Arcadius Press. A subscription for the packets can be ordered online at www.arcadiuspress.com; packets are $11.99 a month plus shipping.
