Catholic comic book venture started

There’s a new line of comic books out, but the "superheros" 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 that 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.

"We want to produce something for children through which they can learn about the lives of the saints — people who devoted themselves to Christ and the Catholic faith — in a medium that is fresh and exciting," he said.

Tony, a member of a local Catholic family is a student at Fontbonne University.
