There's just no structure to this narrative! Here's another whackjob who doesn't realize Ouija Boards are manufactured and sold by Hasbro. It's like this comic and the Dark Dungeons tract are two different versions of the same spiel, one targeted more towards roleplaying games, and the other targeted at rock music. Almost Rashomon -like, if the idea of comparing Jack Chick to Akira Kurosawa weren't so blatantly offensive to good taste.

They're doing a really poor job with this comic. Satan is looking cooler and cooler as we go along. That's Christians for you. Got a problem with something? Set it on fire. So what is it that these spells do, exactly? Are we talking like, "fireballs being launched from stereo systems" or what? This bitch just does not know when to keep her mouth shut, does she?

Where's Dad when you need him? They may take you up on the offer. I mean Lance Collins was on the Council of I love the idea that the druids, about whom we have almost no written evidence, and only the sketchiest understanding of their religious practices, somehow left behind a bunch of music notation that was a legible our familiar music notation arose in European monasteries long after the druids were gone and b contained music that sounded anything like modern rock music. I mean, come on! And what would said musical notation contain, anyway? You hit the drum every third beat.

I doubt it took ancient Druidic manuscripts to figure that out, instead of just having someone stumble upon it by accident. Does Lance Todd have any idea how many records were produced during the 's, often in very short periods of time? The idea that they'd just sit on a saleable record for 6 months is kind of silly. No, record companies worship the almighty dollar.

Sabrina the Middle-Aged Witch! Sabrina is channeling Lot in her derpitude here. Why do so many of Chick's characters end up with the fish eye? That seems oddly specific. And how does this work, anyway? I can picture the instruction manual:. People who used to think 'maybe there is such a thing' will start to think 'maybe I used to be Napoleon'". Good thing they didn't try to draw them " skyclad " since none of them have probably ever seen a woman naked. Jack, why do you hate the Jews? Shouldn't you love the Jewish people? Don't you know God will abundantly bless those that bless Israel?

There's that warning at the bottom again. It just looks like it!!!

Comic - Spellbound?

So are they being deceived? Up above , Collins says that witches know Christians are more powerful. Why be a witch? Again, they know this, but still they stick with Satan. The guy must have one helluva benefits package. Jeez, this panel is seriously familiar Oh, under Old Testament law, huh? You mean like Deuteronomy, the laws that Chick endorses when he likes them and ignores when they're inconvenient?

Spellbound?

I like the setup in the last panel better. It had more style. This is far more cluttered. Where's Martha Stewart when you need her? And here we learn about a demon so prestigious and important that I haven't been able to find a reference that doesn't come from John Todd. I guess they're using those irritating birthday cake candles that don't go out when you blow on them. What a bunch of jerks. Also, I'm not exactly sure, but I think there may be a small continuity error with the random runes disappearing on her right tit there.

That's awfully considerate of him, to worry about whether his worshippers can follow his dialogue. Either that or Cobra Commander. That's actually a pretty good idea. Look at how successful IKEA has been with that same model. You put the stuff together yourself! Ok, so I take it that these terrible, horrible spells that have been put on these records don't do much of anything.

Sometimes my teenager doesn't listen. This sort of thing has never happened before in the history of mankind! Who brought the gasoline? I am sure Wikipedia will agree, but I doubt there is a better way to impart the validity and impartiality of a particular story by starting it off with " I heard a story that's worth repeating. Yes indeed, because modern American rock music sounds just like traditional African music.

And where did those Africans learn that hot hot druid beat? Was anybody thinking about anything when they wrote this down? And how much to do you want to bet that our blond haired pastor then immediately takes the records from his children smashes them over their heads and then proceeds to take off his belt and give them the thrashing of their lives all on the say-so of this one unassuming fashion victim?

Take note, if you ever engage in ANY activity that is not thoroughly and overtly about Jesus, you will go straight to Hell. Do not pass "GO". Oh, well if Albert Pike said it, it must be so! He would never lie to us. I mean, how could you doubt a guy who so clearly resembles Santa Claus?

And now Penny has become our Debbie analogue, the young blond girl who recognizes the error of her ways! This girl is fickle as hell. Just a few minutes ago she's all like "You'll have to pry my rock music from my cold, dead fingers. I guess it's a good thing she's decided to give up her lodge though. I hear they don't take kindly to women anyway. You're going to church with them if you ever want to tap that sweet thing. Shame I doubt you'll realize that her new found religion is going to keep here from doing anything heaver than holding hands until you're bound by the bonds of holy matrimony.

Enjoy those blue balls , dude. The Jack Chick who wrote this comic needs to have a conversation with the Jack Chick who wrote The Marriage Mess in the very same year. Now who's this schmuck? It's like he makes a living out of sitting around and looking like a stereotypical "bad guy. So here's the man behind it all, huh? Why the hell does Sylvia the news reporter answer to him, anyway?

I guess the idea is that the Satanists run everything, but does Dear Leader really approve every single story that ABS runs? In reading up on old Johnny Boy it seems as though he had some bad blood with a latter day neo-pagan named Isaac Bonewits. Is that who this is supposed to be? Todd Collins is so full of shit! This is a character based on the same John Todd who went to prison for rape in What are they going to do?

Start their own church? Jesus may have said his followers are the "salt of the earth. This is so nonchalant. Is there some other way of binding Satan? Like using a full nelson or something? Your church will never be the same. Thank you for teaching my parishioners that there's only one way to deal with ideas you find threatening, disturbing or unfamiliar. And now we get the coda that Dark Dungeons never gave us. When we made that movie , people who weren't familiar with the comic kept saying "what happened next?

You know, I've had Christian friends before, and I used to hear them say all sorts of whack-a-doodle things like this "The Lord told me I should do this. Or is this just some sort of bizarre way you like talking about your own intuition? They followed him for 40 minutes. Would they have followed him all night? What if that wasn't really a calling from the Lord? What if you just had a bout of really bad gas or something?

And finally our international Bible-thumpers The Crusaders actually get to swing into action and This isn't derring-do, it's falling asleep at the wheel! These would-be assassins are hard-core! More lazily drawn onomotopoeia. What's the source of this? Is it the oncoming car? Charlie Manson and Ed Gein here were just coming home from a hunting trip when their gun accidentally went off. Happens all the time, I'm sure. The cops are in on it!

See a Problem?

This conspiracy goes ever deeper! We know because it appears in a comic book! If the cop was in on it, why didn't they just have the cop shoot Todd Collins? Then there wouldn't have to be any sort of cover up. Or a sarc mark or something. James is built like a fucking tank! I would seriously wonder if he's one of those gay guys who live in the gym. It brings the whole "two guys go on international adventures" motif of the Crusaders into a new light.

Who is James' date? And who is this tool bag? I think you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that. What the hell is going on here.

We've got that possessed kid from The Exorcists rocking out left of frame, a weird asian stereotype with a Black Widow drawn on his forehead, and his date. Have I mentioned recently that I hate Jack Chick? I mean, really hate him? I do, you know. That's quite an assortment of recreational drugs Old Bobby Dallas offers them.

I like to think he has them set up buffet style on a big long table, on silver platters with meticulously embroidered label cards next to each one. And now we've apparently entered the "educational" portion of this comic. Is there going to be a test on this at the end? Wow, it's like an encyclopedia of the occult, distilled down to one comic page.

He mentions that all these symbols are at this party, but is too lazy to actually work them into the plot, so he just does an info dump all over the page here. I like how he goes out of his way to mention it isn't a Magen David , but rather a jewish symbol "perverted by Satan's people. Thin line, I know. Why not Human Horn? This has occult symbols in it.

Such a romantic, moonlit night to stroll by the pool and "talk about Jesus. Shit will turn you white! The Broken Cross , eh? I'm glad we're not the only hack jobs that reference our own works all the time. I think it's interesting that Crusader Comics have a definite continuity. I mean, I like to imagine that Chick's other comics take place in the same world, but there's no evidence of that.

I get the feeling Old Bobby Dallas is really just humoring our friend James here. Good thing Old Bobby Dallas wasn't a cash cow or anything. These people don't think too far ahead, do they? He's losing spiritual control of his family. If the women in the house start thinking for themselves then he'll be, like, less than a man, or something. His daughter should get into the position of the church or something.

That will straighten her out. This guy wants her Dad to talk to him about Jesus and she's all like "Whatever. I think that's a rather healthy response to something like that. I guess that's supposed to be a Kiss -style glam rocker, but he really looks like a luchador. So, is this different from the other occasions where Chick feels the need to differentiate between people who "attend church" and people who "are Christian. Like "Brother" in Christ , or "Brother" from another Mother?

Lance Collins is, of course, our stand-in for John Todd.

His arrival signals the beginnings of the fantastical rivers of bullshit that dominate the rest of this comic. All the Satanists look like homeless people with poor hygiene. I wonder if Chick is trying to make some sort of comment about how hippies are filthy little mongrels. Damn kids today with their rock music and fast cars and Pong machines I guess the implication is that they've been trying to get Collins for a while, and keep failing.

C'mon people, you'd think that the satanists would be better at this than Team Rocket. In Chick's universe, everyone in the 70's refers to everyone else as turkey. I used to think it was strictly an African-American affectation , but whatever. Perhaps if God had been just a touch more liberal with "light" then you wouldn't have had such a significant Satanic stronghold half way around the world. For someone omnipotent God sure doesn't think things out, does he?

I've tried to do a bit of research on this Kernos fellow and it seems like unless you are discussing a certain feature of greek pottery the only person who's ever heard of him is John Todd. The Wiccans seem to worship a Cernunnos , which it would appear that Todd simply bastardized the spelling of and declared him Satan, which is what they seem to do with all Gods, even Allah. I mean, just blame the shit on Chernabog or something. If Satan can duplicate all of God's miracles, what's the difference?

Except these people would suggest that Satan still does stuff like this in this day and age, which is more than can be said for lazy old Yahweh. Wouldn't make more sense to go with the guy who actually gets things done? Yeah, usually when somebody says something like that, they're spinning a big ol' conspiracy theory. Everything ties together with the Illuminati! That way they could go from one to the next just picking virgins like fruit. This adheres to a complete fairytale version of Merry Olde England except for all the death, of course as though every few miles there was a king who had a marriageable daughter just waiting around for a noble knight or brave scullery boy to save her.

The implication is that the "father" here is a totally cold hearted bastard. Don't let them take me!!! We have to pay our dues. You knew what this was. Now go with the nice men. Dad's still sitting back in his easy chair, all like "Keep it down, okay? I'm trying to watch the game. Can't you go to your gruesome death peacefully and quietly?

Like your sister did? Why does this sound so much like the bullshit explanations for holidays that snopes. Oh, that's right, because it's the same idea! Think about this for a minute. The druids come to every house once a year. They demand a woman for sacrifice, whom they promptly kill. If no woman is to be had, they hex the house and indirectly kill someone through fear whatever the hell that means.

So one way or another the household loses at least one member each year. Every if you had four kids your house would be empty after six years. You can't produce more than one kid a year, and that's if you work really hard at it and there are no complications.

So even if you keeping having children solely to feed the druids you'd still only barely keep your head above water, and that's only while you are still of childbearing age. The whole country would be deserted in under two decades. I think someone just might be pulling our legs here. The spellbinding beat of the Druid music Polyrhythms was extremely uncommon in western music until the 20th century, when increased exposure to African-derived music which did have such rhythms led to some cross-pollination.

The druids didn't really get rolling until around BCE. So they're only off by two or three millennia. Considering their track record it's not that bad. So God requires blood sacrifices? But didn't you just say Satan excuse me, Kernos didn't demand the same thing? Are we sure that God and Satan aren't the same person? It sounds like the same thing to me.

My guess is that Todd purposely modeled his bizarre version of Samhain to have some aspects of the passover. What does any of this have to do with anything? This whole train of thought is one giant non-sequitur. This is always the lamest part of Chick's work. It's like having dry, overcooked turkey for dinner with nothing to drink, then following it up with a turd pie. Everyone is going to stand before God in a silken bathrobe. Which seems kind of weird since Chick usually depicts them as buck stark naked when they have to stand there and review the movie of their life.

Being in your birthday suit makes it all the more humiliating when millions of people are getting to watch your various sexual faux pas. That's a pretty piss poor battle strategy there. You'd have to seriously outnumber your opponent to be able to spare at least half your army in kamikaze runs.

Yeah, the Romans did have trouble with the Picts. Also the Parthians , Goths , Vandals , and a whole host of other people. The Romans weren't invincible, just for a long time they had more successes than defeats, and they were good administrators. The Picts don't really have much to do with the rest of the story here. Yes, America will never recover from the Beatles. It was only the Beatles, who came from England, where there used to be druids, who had that druid beat. Does this make sense to anybody? Also, this comes perilously close to asserting that the Beatles existed solely to open the US to witchcraft where I guess, according to Todd, there hadn't been any before.

Then they get up and get themselves a sandwich and watch TV while you just lay in the sweaty, sticky sheets wondering if they were thinking of someone else the whole time. Exert some "spiritual control" over her. Show her who's the boss! God gave you a penis and you don't have to take sass from anyone!

And here we really get into it. It certainly helps explain what that line about "rock music", otherwise out of place, is doing in that tract. Is "playing church" like " playing house "? Do kids take refrigerator boxes and pitch the roof and one little boy is like "I'll be the preacher! Yeah, that's nearly the population of Lynchburg. So witches and Satanists KNOW that Bible-believing Christians are more powerful than them the Christ-o-philes are oblivious to this for the most part but they still follow their wicked ways?
