> [@BrainGlutton](#): > > Yes (actually the work of the Gnostic “Alexandria Cult,” but it all ties together in the Vatican). Chick once devoted a whole issue of _Crusader Comics_ just to that. Yep! [It’s called “Sabotage”](http://chick.com/catalog/comics/0111.asp) and by clicking where it says Read Digital Comic Online you can read it all now. All of the full-sized comics are online at his site now. I thought that that was one of the things delaying him. ---

I’ve been wanting to read his issue on Mormonism, [_The Enchanter._](http://media.chick.com/digital-comics/0118/0118_6.html) Attention, all Latter-Dope Saints! Get a load of **this!** 😃 ---

This issue stops after Chick is done telling the Mormon story from his Fundie-or-whatever POV. ---

> [@ad jpg on site](#): > > [Spanish Chick Tract.](http://chick.com/images/Tract_Myths/myth_17.jpg) These professionally translated tracts deliver a solid gospel message in a format people can’t resist, no matter what language they speak. The irresistible power of cartooooons! Wow, that’s amazing. So Chick Tracts alone can save the world for quasi-Lutheran Protestantism? Well, I guess they have to fight against all the other cartoons out there. ---

I’ve been wanting to read his issue on Mormonism, [_The Enchanter._](http://media.chick.com/digital-comics/0118/0118_6.html) Attention, all Latter-Dope Saints! Get a load of **this!** 😃 First off, I’ve GOT to start posting about the weird coincidences in my life. I’m at my downtown library and, just as I was clicking on the multiquote option, several young men walked behind my three-PC station from a room around the corner. At least three of them were clearly decked out as Mormons. * * * I trust that you aren’t expecting anyone here of the LDS persuasion to have their socks knocked off by the material here. Annoyed, or even irritated, maybe, but that’s different, of course. > [@BrainGlutton](#): > > 😕 Hey, waitaminnit – where’s the third act?! Ordinarily the Crusaders would help the poor woman, expose the murder, send the Mormon Bishop or whomever to jail. This issue stops after Chick is done telling the Mormon story from his Fundie-or-whatever POV. As soon as Alberto made the scene, out dynamic dodos suddenly went from hard-chargers to active listeners. Sometimes their expressions, especially in the later books are just too dead-pan. * * * I, too, was looking forward to (maybe-someday) seeing \*The Enchanter \*online. For years we only had access to _Alberto_, _The Godfathers_, and the much later _The Prophet_. Finally, we also see, with a different format, \*Double-Cross \*and _The Force_ and _The Four Horsemen_. … And that leaves the four-part _[Overcomers](http://www.monsterwax.com/chickcomics4.html#overcomers)_ series, but it was child-oriented, and creepy in various ways even for the Chickiverse, so it was withdrawn. (Oops. I forgot all about _[Jonah](http://www.monsterwax.com/chickcomics.html#jonah)_, withdrawn earlier for a different reason, since I had never read it [or seen a cover online, until now](http://www.monsterwax.com/jonahcomic.gif).) ISTR that JTC’s allies were disturbed by a huge panel in which the children involved were invited to take a dip in a river that was the symbolic blood of You-Know-Who. :eek: Even as a symbolic image, it was apparently too much for his allied critics, some of whom were no doubt parents. _ **- The Other White Jack** _ 😉 ---

> [@Trans Fat Og](#): > > As soon as Alberto made the scene, out dynamic dodos suddenly went from hard-chargers to active listeners. Sometimes their expressions, especially in the later books are just too dead-pan. I also note he leaves out the part (always present in the earlier books) where somebody gets saved – in this case, one would expect some benighted Mormon, at some point, to be shown his errors, etc., and repent. (It is implied the murdered Jake did so or was moving that way, but the backstory is never filled in.) ---

And what about this issue’s talking head, “David Franks”? Is he really an ex-Mormon? ('Cause I’m pretty sure Alberto ain’t no ex-Jesuit.) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/may-21st-and-still-no-new-chick-tract-wait/582687.md?page=1)
