Operation Bucharest is a full-length (32 pp.) comic written by Jack Chick. It was originally printed in 1974 and remains in-stock. Unlike their tracts, it is not available for free viewing on the Chick Publications website; it can only be purchased either in print or electronic form.
The comic is the first 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, 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, set in Romania during the 1960's when it was a Communist country controlled by the Soviet Union, is a fictional account of a Bible-smuggling operation. The Crusaders are asked to travel to Bucharest (the capital city) and deliver a microfilm to a fellow believer (working underground) so that Bibles can be produced in the Romanian language.
While obtaining their passports, one of the clerks asks Clark if he is related to the United States Ambassador to France (as they share the same name; it should be noted that the name used is totally fictional as no such person with that name ever actually served in that position); upon learning that he is the Ambassador's nephew it is revealed that she secretly works for the KGB and notifies them of his planned trip. The KGB decides they will try to entrap Clark into a sexual scandal, then publicize the event to make it appear that the Ambassador is the guilty party and demand his removal. However, their efforts fail as "Sofia" (the young woman sent to entrap Clark) is led to Christian faith (in the final frames she is arrested and sent to jail for her beliefs).
