http://www.rainbowresource.com/product/Biblical+Economics+in+Comics/016027/1238761670-884481

Best Comic I’ve read (which use words to explain the factual evidence, and pictures to both move the story line and to illustrate better the subjects). Explains Biblical principles of Economics with Biblical verses right next to it, and as conservative as you get. Me and my friend wanted to take this and put it on the internet because it explains economics in the basest way possible, at the same time extolling the reasons never to trust the government. It includes very relevant sections (even though it’s like from the seventies... at least), like why not to “save” the auto industry, price fixing, minimum wage, etc. It also starts from the simplest concepts to the most complicated, explaining that the basis is you should get what you worked for, no more no less. The only problem with it is that it get a little boring by the middle (I’ve never made through all of it, just more of the illustrated areas, it goes more into words later, and I have issues with small font) but in separate tracks could do amazing things... (I’ve just convinced myself I need to scan this in, or at least certain parts, as I sit here typing a Fair Use paper) I would recommend you read this before you say that. I would say however, this book and my friend are the reason I’m sitting here right now (That and I was actually taught in high school, one of the nicer reasons to live in a red area).

Again, I would really recommend you get this book, you might learn something :D, I know I did, and I’ll use it to teach my brother.

That's a great idea. You might talk to the originators, or rather the current owners (if you think it's older material) about serializing it -- breaking it up by topic, or tracks as you say. That could be a very good thing to do.

If it's old enough, you wouldn't even need to get permission, since at some point it becomes public domain, if the originator doesn't step up to renew his copyright at intervals. (If he copyrighted it, or his church copyrighted it, back in the 70's, they could have renewed a few times since then to keep the copyright current. I don't know for how long they can keep doing that, but copyrights can run quite a while. You'd need to check that unless you are just excerpting and relying on fair-use. You could do that.)

And yes, I didn't know that was out there, thanks for the link. Although I knew the Jehovah's Witnesses have been using comic-art presentation of topics they teach on, and spreading them around washaterias, for example, where I found their exposition of their vision of the Last Days. That was 35 years ago -- they put out The Watchtower, which was their comic-art periodical, on different subjects.
