The comic is the second of a 22-comic series titled "The Crusaders", featuring Christians involved in daring operations against enemies of the faith (and, in some cases, actual demonic activity). The "Crusaders" in the series are Timothy Emerson Clark<ref>As mentioned in ''[[Operation Bucharest (comic)|Operation Bucharest]]'', the first comic in the series, Clark shares his name with his uncle, portrayed as the United States Ambassador to France. However, no person named Timothy Emerson Clark - or any variation on that name - ever actually served in that capacity.</ref>, a former Green Beret, and James Carter, a former narcotics gang leader, both of whom have come to faith in Christ and find themselves in daring, life-threatening situations involving enemies of the faith.
The comic is the second of a 22-comic series titled "[[The Crusaders (fictional duo)|The Crusaders]]".
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 final scene shows Jody burning all her demonic paraphernalia (something Chick and many fundamentalists advise doing).
