The Enchanter
I'm not in contact with Jack Chick anymore so I didn't get a chance to ask him what he thought about Mitt Romney's speech on religion today. However, I have an idea of what he thought. Yesterday, I finally got to read the new Chick Publications Crusader comic titled "The Enchanter." It's about Joseph Smith and it's no surprise that it's not flattering. Most of it is a biography of Smith (whom Chick views as a pawn of Satan to steal the thunder from the Second Great Awakening). Among other things, Chick addresses Smith's dabbling in divination (e.g., using a seer stone) and apparent appropriation of Masonic rituals. I don't have time for a full review right now but, like most of the Chickster's other books, it doesn't pull any punches and is highly inflammatory.
