Read the comic that Troy Brownfield of NEWSARAMA raved about: "...it's for books like this one that I love doing this... More > column... a damn fine example of what 'independent comic' really means. The fact that it's entertaining, informative and occasionally gut-bustingly funny is all icing..."

This is the DIGITALLY REMASTERED Second Edition of HOLY SHIT: OR… PAT ROBERTSON IS THE ANTICHRIST! I went through each page’s lettering, letter by letter, and painted around each individual letter and over them in some cases, cleaning up the lettering while trying to preserve the original look of the book. I added shading, too. My hope is that the book is easier on the eyes and easier to read this time around. You can also dive into the essay behind the graphic novel, now included. I wrote out most of what became "Holy Shit:" in essay form before I decided to go at it graphically. < Less

The beings that inspired the tales of the "gods" in ancient times actually existed, but they made humankind forget about... More > them two thousand years ago.
