Moses, Part 2

(Continued from Part 1)

Each successive version of the story of "Moses" in BOYS' LIFE tends to be so long and detailed, it looks like from here on up, I'm going to have to break this down by ONE version per page!  So be it...

The 3rd version, from 1958-60, is illustrated by well-known BATMAN artist Irv Novick... long before he ever touched "The Caped Crusader"!  This one encompassed 17 episodes!!  Although I probably prefer these in "comic-strip" style, the "illustrated children's stories" format here features STUNNING artwork!

The March 1959 issue featured "The First Passover" as well as "The First Easter".  I'm including the former here because it relates to the story of "Moses".
