I googled those and they look awesome!

LOL, apparently he includes an erlenmeyer flask (usually a symbol for the natural sciences) among the "dark occult practices"?
Wow, thanks for the memories. I remember these panels now that I've seen them again! But this was stuff being peddled to me as a child, as routine. What's funny is that my mom didn't necessarily believe all the hardcore weird stuff... she never paid much attention to specific content, it just must have been good because it was "Christian." And she had no problems with me reading secular comics either; again, she never really paid attention to content. So in addition to all of this crazy stuff, I was also allowed to read a lot of fantasy and scifi and play Dungeons & Dragons. But I am sure in my area a lot of reading was policed more strenuously by parents, so all they had were "Christian" books and comic books.
I remember one splash page of the Revelation reference to a "cloud of locusts rising out of the pit," except it was being interpreted as Russian or Chinese helicopter squadrons. For whatever reason, visually, that memory lodged in my head.
Oh, hey, I remember The Rapture panel too...
Oh, this is amusing -- another reference to the Rapture, except clueless about popular slang...
