[Scan of the cover of one bizarre looking christian comic book. It looks like Johnny Quest plowing his Biblemobile into a wall of Aryan communists.]

And coming soon: The All New Xian-Men
See Wolverine attack with his retractable crosses.
See Prof Xianvier commune with God.
See Phoenixian rise from the dead after three days.
It’s the most amazing thing you'll read about since God blinded all the evil communist border guards by supplying little Johnny Quest with jeans, money and chocolate so as to draw their eyes away from his supply of illegal bibles. (KJ version only)
HEY, I'VE READ THIS!
My orthodontist had a few comics like this in his waiting room when I was a kid, and I must have read this very comic at least three times (for want of anything else to do there) he also had comic-book versions of "The Cross and the Switchblade" and other, uh, classics.
It was a cute story, but nowhere near as believable as the average Superman, Fantastic Four, or Green Lantern comic.

PS Mad Dog, 40's and 50's is a good guess but would you believe its actually the 70's and 80's
Holy Hopping Hippo shit! I didn't think there was an audience with that bad of a taste this recent. What next? A bible-mobile with machine guns and rocket launchers? How about a bible set of action figures with kung-fu grip?
For the record, the guy isn't about to ram the guards at the gate; he's about to stop and let them inspect his car. And, to sort of give the game away here (*SPOILER ALERT!*), they look in the car and for some reason don't notice the giant stack of Bibles. The whole comic is like this; he makes multiple runs smuggling Bibles behind the Iron Curtain, taking bigger and more ridiculous risks, until finally he pulls this one, with the assumption that God won't let them see the Bibles -- and pulls it off!
As I said, Superman, Fantastic Four, and Green Lantern are *much* more plausible!

well, Hartley was a better artist than Jack Chick, though nowhere as wacky.
He also adapted "Born Again," the book by Watergate-crony-turned-fundy Charlie Colson, into a comic.
Even Marvel dabbled into Christian comics - anyone recall the Pope John Paul II and Mother Teresa one-shots?

No kung-fu grip (in fact very little in the way of articulations), but...
