    OMG I actually read that comic as a kid! My grandmother was a late-in-life convert to Jehovah’s Witnesses, and on one visit she had that book out on her coffee table. Very colorful mixed in with the usual selection of Watchtowers — I couldn’t help but pick it up. (Of course she didn’t know that I had already decided I was an atheist. Apocalyptic bible stories, even in comic book form, were no competition for a scientific description of the formation of the solar system.)
