Jimmy Linguini Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I ordered three off the chick website a few weeks back still waiting on delivery. It's weird. Mohammed story where the cartoonist isn't killed for drawing Mohammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Have no clue why but... The pope is heating up That's because Gabe renounced the Pope. They figure if Gabe doesn't want him, it must be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingDonut Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 We tend to forget that book is 35 years old now - there's always been demand for it and as it ages, people are looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonzilla Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Will the crusaders Muhammad comic ever increase in value? Seems kind of underappreciated for what it is I think the Crusaders books have some potential... great covers, good production value, wonky distribution with some scarcity, controversial content, etc. But for the moment, I think there's no market awareness (see previous post!) so nothing to trigger a price increase. I've been collecting the Chick Crusaders books for a while and the Chick tracts as well. Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Have no clue why but... The pope is heating up That book has sold pretty decently for a while. As I posted in another thread I got three offers on one in an hour, but the money involved wasn't earth shattering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno where I'd find it other than a yard sale. Most comic shops probably wouldn't view these as real comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the blob Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Of course, I buy these along with all the Christian comics I see from al hartley, et al that I see if the price is right. Heck, treasure chests too. I have a decent little christian comic side collection going. I hit a stockpile in a comic shop in mississipi once, but my nyc shops get them too.

Readcomix Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Thanks guys! As a result of this thread, I grabbed the biggest cheap batch of mid-grade Chick Crusaders I could off of eBay two days ago, a dozen books from the run. I gotta be nuts....
