American Cult: A Graphic History of Religious Cults in America from the Colonial Era to Today

Silver Sprocket’s American Cult: A Graphic History of Religious Cults in America from the Colonial Era to Today (2021–present) is a single-issue, oversized comic that surveys the strange, persistent undercurrent of religious movements in the United States, from colonial times to the modern day. With a sharp, journalistic eye, it distills centuries of fringe faith, charismatic leaders, and communal devotion into a compact visual history. The project is notable for its ambitious scope—packing centuries of complex, often sensationalized history into a single accessible volume—and for its debut with the politically engaged indie publisher Silver Sprocket.
