My husband has a collection of a comic books from the late 1980s called “Evangeline–Nun With A Gun.”
In spite of the graphic violence and use of four-letter words, it’s a pretty good comic. The premise is that the world is taken over by evil people, and the Vatican is the lone holdout, but it is now underground, and nuns and priests are like agents fighting evil.
Evangeline, as you can imagine, is very beautiful in her leather combat fatiques and habit.
One plot that was particularly interesting involved keeping aborted embryos and raising them for their body parts and fluids. This plot happened before stem cell research became a public issue. I remember at the time wondering if anyone would ever use embryonic stem cells to treat medical conditions.
I have often wished that this short-lived series could be made into a screenplay, but I’m guessing that it would probably cause outrage among many Catholics and possible from the Catholic Church, too.
