Format

Originally, ''Sunday Pix'' was an 8.5 x 11 inch self-covered booklet containing 12 pages of comics and features. In 1963, the size changed to 5.5 x 8.5 inches and the page count increased to 16 pages. This page count has decreased over the years. In the early 1980s, the magazine became almost all reprint, with more text pages and fewer comics. Today, ''Pix'' is published with 8 pages on slick paper.

Content

The two longest running features in ''Sunday Pix'' are The Bible in Pictures and ''Tullus''. This last feature, the adventures of a Christian youth in Roman times, is the story most sought after by collectors. There have been six paperback reprints of ''Tullus'' stories.
