Battle Pope

A two-issue series from Funk-O-Tron, Battle Pope launched in 2002 with a premise that reimagines a heavy-drinking, foul-mouthed Pope as a superhero tasked with battling demons in a post-apocalyptic world. Co-created by Robert Kirkman and Tony Moore, the series is a raw, irreverent satire that predates their more famous collaborations, showcasing their early penchant for blending dark humor with supernatural action. Though brief, it remains a cult curiosity for fans of the creators' formative work.
