Tullus is the fictional hero of an American comic strip that was published in the Christian comic paper Sunday Pix. The character was created by Joseph Hughes Newton, and originally appeared in What to Do, Boys' World, and Girls' Companion in 1943. Other artists later contributed to the strip.

Tullus, living in the first century, had many adventures throughout the ancient world, visiting Asia Minor, Greece, and Rome.

Six collections of the Tullus comics have been made into paperback books:

• Tullus and the Monsters of the Deep
• Tullus and the Dark City
• Tullus and the Ransom Gold
• Tullus and the Vandals of the North
• Tullus in the Deadly Whirlpool
• Tullus and the Kidnapped Prince

These collections reprint later Tullus stories, which are not as prized by collectors as the earlier stories.
