Chick gave his "deepest appreciation" to John Todd, a purported "ex-grand Druid priest", and to unnamed others, who he claimed verified the authenticity of what the comic portrayed.

The comic draws heavily on the "Satanic panic" beliefs popularized in the late 20th century; views still widely held within fundamentalism.  Chick gave his "deepest appreciation" to John Todd, a purported "ex-grand Druid priest", and to unnamed others, who he claimed verified the authenticity of what the comic portrayed.

The comic is set in an unnamed rural community in the United States.  The opening scenes show a young girl (Donna) picked up while hitchhiking; she is drugged and killed, and her blood sacrificed to Lucifer.  Later, the Crusaders come upon a police barricade, where they encounter a disheveled man who claimed to have had not a drop of blood on her body.  When the Crusaders identify it as the sign of witchcraft, the local sheriff advises them that "this is a God-fearing community" and that they would be advised to stay out of the situation.  Another scene shows a dog taken from its owner (a young boy); the Crusaders give the boy money for another dog. (A later scene shows the dog being sacrificed, but the young boy has a new pet.)
