This fable comes from War Battles #4, cover dated June 1952. It was published by Harvey Comics, the same folks who brought you Casper the Friendly Ghost. I won't spoil the surprise ending, so I'll post my comments at the end.






Good thing he had that Bible in his pocket. That shrapnel would have cut right through Ulysses.
There was a story not too long ago about a campus shooting in which a student wearing a backpack was saved because the bullet got no further than a copy of “Great Medieval Thinkers” by John Wyclif.

The student was quoted as saying, "I honestly think that this was a direct intervention by God." Why didn't he credit John Wyclif? Hell, he could have picked any one of a dozen great Medieval Thinkers. And do believers really think we are buying this hogwash? A few installments back I exposed the great lie about stories in which people are given a chance to reject Christianity or die. This is another lie of the same sort.

BONUS

Here's an ad found in another issue of War Battles. Funny, looking over the list of neat stuff I would get, I didn't see any bibles.
