5 Minute Read
Comic books have always been popular among children and their popularity is only increasing in recent years. Graphic novels are frequently used in an educational setting and are promoted by some educators as a “gateway” to literacy.
However, it’s not alway easy to navigate the waters of the comic book world, especially when the majority of mainstream comics are directed at adults. This can often result in a younger child picking-up a comic book that was intended for a mature audience, exposing the child to images that may be offensive to the parent’s religious beliefs.
This is a problem, one that Voyage Comics & Publishing is here to solve.
We create quality, entertaining comic books that are not only geared at children, but can be enjoyed by adults as well!
Furthermore, we pack each issue with a “spiritual punch,” inspiring each reader with truth, beauty and goodness.

The Tale of Patrick Peyton vividly brings to life the American Apostle of the Family Rosary, Venerable Patrick Peyton. Born to a humble family in Ireland, the energetic young boy would embark on an adventure beyond his wildest dreams. His journey would take him to the United States where he would find his true calling as a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross and promoter of family prayer.
Father Peyton was ambitious in his mission and contacted popular Hollywood actors and actresses, such as Bing Crosby and Loretta Young, to help him convince families everywhere, “The family that prays together stays together.”
Using television, radio and film, Father Peyton was a modern-day missionary who went on to encourage devotion to the Blessed Mother and inspire families to pray together. His inspiring life story is now made accessible for the first time in a comic book format.
