Author Matt Runkle explains, "This issue of (Great) Catholics draws inspiration from The Lives of the Saints, St. Augustine's Confessions, imperishable movie monsters, and Joan Crawford (including her alleged last words). In addition to a sampling of content from the original artist book, it also features a never-before-seen two-page comic. Witness the sacred and the profane, the humorous and tragic, the hand drawn and typographic, as they all end up strange bedfellows in desperate need of confession."
