New Jack T. Chick Crusaders Comic Book
After a long hiatus with the Crusader series of full-sized comic books, The Chickster just came out with volume 18 titled, "The Enchanter." Just in time for Campaign 2008, Jack pimp-slaps Mitt Romney with this comic book devoted to taking on Mormonism. From the ad for the book:

The validity of Mormonism stands or falls on the testimony of Joseph Smith. Here is his story, revealing the man for what he really was. Calling himself the “second Mohammad,” Smith was an occultic opportunist, fond of the ladies (lots of them!), who blended Masonic rituals into his temple rituals.

The story is a fascinating one, filled with incredible quotes from Smith himself. After people read this illustrated book, they will not be vulnerable to the Mormon recruiters!

Read the incredible story of how Joseph Smith founded Mormonism. It's a story of intrigue, murder, lust and greed. A few months after marrying the first of his 27 wives, Joseph Smith began to build his religion on a set of golden plates that he claimed had been given to him by a mysterious spirit.

This isn't the first time Jack has taken on Mormonism. He has a comix tract "The Visitors" in which a couple missionaries are raked over the coals by a know-it-all fundy. At the very least, this should be an entertaining read. Back when I interviewed Chick in 2004, I mentioned that artist Fred Carter had finished the work for the video The Light of the World and asked Jack if there would be any more Crusader comic books. Jack had a twinkle in his eye and told me it was in God's hands.
