I grew up surrounded by Oral Roberts literature, but never saw these amazing comic books. I was robbed!

The Oral stuff I saw was the cheap little red-bound pamphlets. Usually with "666" or some reference to the Always-Imminent Apocalypse on the cover.

Some of my relatives laughed about the black folks in the neighborhood, sending their money off to obvious phonies like Father Divine or Sweet Daddy Grace. Then they'd stuff their own envelope with money and send it off to Oral Roberts or Garner Ted Armstrong.
