Christianity and Comics Stories We Tell About Heaven and Hell

"Davis' Christianity and Comics is how histories of popular culture topics should be written. The detail and use of rarely cited primary sources is commendable. . . . His work provides the most comprehensive history of how Christianity and its spiritual tropes have been used in sequential art." (Reading Religion) "Davis reminds readers of theology's reach into the broader culture, for both good and ill." (The Gospel Coalition) "Christianity and Comics is an impressively encyclopedic overview of how U.S. comics have engaged with Christianity over the course of eight decades. Davis writes in a lucid and welcoming style, showing us how comics have promoted Christianity, have critiqued it, and have fused Christian motifs and themes into the larger tapestry of comics storytelling."
