Tales From The Quarter Bin--It Will Be Mine. Oh, Yes, It Will Be Mine!

The hunt is on.

While taking a quick dive through the quarter bin this week, I found this:

Don't worry, I'm not going to savage some evangelical Christian comic book. No, what really caught my eye was the back cover ad:

I've seen most of these before, even own a couple of them. But this fragment caught my eye:

So, engaging in a little internet detective work, and by the good graces of GCD, I found out that snippet was from this:

Wow.

I have never wanted a comic book so much in my entire life (except for this one).

You'll have to excuse me, because I'm going to be scouring quarter bins for awhile. But I will find it. Oh, yes, I will. And it will be mine...

    I read a review of that online somewhere once. It's not as cracky as it sounds.

    Not the review I saw (I think I found it through another site, so I wouldn't be able to find it if I tried), but some good points there (I say as a Christian). The review I saw claimed that it was based on a true story, but it actually sounds kind of boring.

    I'm glad theotheradamford had the GaF link; I thought it was the late, lamented Ye Olde Comic Blogge. I was close: they covered the Cross and the Switchblade Check it out!
