Swamp Preacher
New York, NY: Fantagraphics Books. 2006
Synopsis: Swamp Preacher presents the sixth volume of
Sandlin’s ongoing project A Sinner's Progress, an epic series of
lore surrounding characters involved with a religious novelty company,
Pur-Ton-o-Fun Co. Moving back in time, Swamp Preacher uncovers
the unearthly origins of Carl Bob deVille, Pur-Ton-o-Fun Co.’s
charismatic and mysterious founder. Metamorphosed through the
absorption of others’ sins, Carl Bob deVille must be reborn from swampy
depths. The legend of Swamp Preacher draws on rich sources from
the Southern gothic tradition to pulp fiction comics.
