In Volume 1 of John Bunyan's classic fantasy told in graphic novel form, Christian leaves the City of Destruction and begins his formidable journey to the Celestial City.
Pilgrim's Progress is a Christian allegory, meaning that it has two levels of significance. On the surface, the story follows a man named Christian as he leaves the City of Destruction and journeys to a place called the Celestial City, encountering all sorts of roadblocks and fearsome creatures along the way.
The Pilgrim's Progress, religious allegory by the English writer John Bunyan, published in two parts in 1678 and 1684. The work is a symbolic vision of the good man's pilgrimage through life. At one time second only to the Bible in popularity, The Pilgrim's Progress is the most famous Christian allegory still in print.

To 'trav'lers of the past, their mem'ry to secure, That cloud of witnesses, alive in Heaven pure. For travelers today, to aid them in their trip; To help them follow on, in Christ's directorship. And future trav'lers, too, to help them run the race; To heighten their resolve, their foes to all out-pace. To my wife, who paid a price--putting up with me, While I dwelt with Christian, and all this company, To my children, each unique; help them hear a call From the Lord of Glory, to give to Him their all. And to the task ahead, in Bunyan's type of rhyme, We send you, Pilgrim, out--again another time.
--LEH (in Modern English version)
And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them
(Hebrews 11:13-16). (in Modern English version)

As I walk'd through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a Denn; And I laid me down in that place to sleep; And as I slept I dreamed a Dream.
When at the first I took my Pen in hand, Thus for to write; I did not understand That I at all should make a little Book In such a mode; Nay, I had undertook To make another, which when almost done; Before I was aware, I this begun.

Preface (Pure Gold Classics ed.).
John Bunyan's The Pilgrims' Progress, first published in 1678, is acknowledged by many to be second only to the Bible as a Christian publication.
The Pilgrim's Progress is a book which in the three hundred years of its existence has crossed most of the barriers of race and culture that usually serve to limit the communicative power of a classic.
