His stuff is still pretty much what's used on most products and marketing, right?

I've been listening to a lot of comic book podcasts lately (there are so freaking many, one could probably find a podcast or two devoted to every title every released), and one group of podcasters reveres his work so much that they follow every mention of Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez' name with "hallowed be his name".

Looks like Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice might be borrowing a few things from this title.

Shhhh... Don't tell Rich Johnston, or he'll be hyping it up on BC...

Some of the licensed stuff still uses his designs, though the New 52 branding pushed much of it aside for Jim Lee's new designs.

Mod Note: Retitled thread per request.

From: Ghost Rider #9 - #19: Jesus and Johnny Blaze?
To: Religion in Comics

This has nothing to do with this thread but that cover reminded me of one of the best JLA/JSA stories ever...

The request from like two years ago?


I always liked these crossover events, and I like the TPB collections.

The forbidden love for nuns and priests were all over popular entertainment in the 1950s. America was still dominated by Protestant institutions and Catholics weren't as integrated into society like they are today. Most of this got washed away by the great social upheavals of the Sixties. Many films from that era play with the idea of falling in love with a nun.

I remember the novel and mini series of Thorn Birds was popular in the late 70's and early 80's..

I'm shocked that he actually posted. I don't think I've ever seen you post in Comic Talk, Geofferson.

That's the ugliest Jesus I've ever seen.

Chester Brown did an illustrated Book of Mark, with Jesus angry all the time.

Jack T. Chick has passed away at the age of 92. His Chick Tract releases are some of the most shocking, paranoid and laughable comics ever released. I just found out that his publishing office is in the next city over from where I live.

Some have said that he was the most successful underground publisher in comic history.

Here's a good site that reviews and dissects his Tracts, showing the differences between the original and revised versions - Tract Dissections
