  Will My Faith in Frankie return triumphant, a great lost work of comics literature, leering and smirking in the light of renewed appreciation? No, of course not.

If it does have a destiny, it's to be cherished by the few who reach out to it, accepting its whim and preoccupations. It's a comic book about a teenager who wants her god to go away so her panties can do the same. It's the definition of a cult comic. Read Full Review
