Published By admin with Comments 0
There’s something irresistible about cults. Well, I guess that’s their whole thing. What I really mean is, there’s something irresistible about stories about cults. Perhaps it’s related to the charismatic nature of cult leaders and big promises of secret truths only they know — the same dangerous things that draw real people into cults. Cult stories can take many forms: drama, satire, dystopia, mystery, horror, and perhaps most gripping, nonfiction. All of them explore humanity’s relationship to religion, belief, and truth, as well as the dark power of groupthink. If you also find yourself fascinated by cults both real and fictional, check out these graphic novels and comics about cults.
Cults come in all shapes and sizes, with a wide variety of political and religious beliefs, as well as visions for the future and assurances that draw in unsuspecting new followers. Fittingly, these graphic novels include fantastical horror, action-packed superhero adventures, 1960s hippie historical fiction, and robot-filled sci-fi. We’ve also got true stories told through the medium of comics, including a reflection on America’s real cults throughout history and a memoir by a cult survivor. All of these stories will introduce you to new perspectives on the dangers of cults, crafted with immersive illustrations and creative storytelling techniques.
Get to know the real history of America’s cults in American Cult, presented in the form of comics by a variety of talented writers and illustrators. You’ll see the stories of 18 different cults throughout American history, from the 17th century to today, from Transylvanian monks to satanic coffee shops. Beyond the sensationalized aspects of cult history, the creators focus on the more human aspects of the cults and how they molded the people who joined them. It’s a fascinating book that will change the way you look at cults forever.
