Catholics, an Unauthorized, Unapproved, Illustrated Guide

In 1986, Putnam Publishing Group released Catholics, an Unauthorized, Unapproved, Illustrated Guide, a single-issue comic that offers a lighthearted, affectionate primer on the faith. Illustrated throughout by Rick Detorie, the book presents a playful yet respectful visual tour of Catholic practices, symbols, and cultural quirks, framed as an outsider's guide. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to blend gentle humor with genuine curiosity, making it a unique, standalone artifact of 1980s pop-culture publishing.
