... profession of faith, such as the Nicene Creed.(The top picture is Charlemagne receiving oaths of loyalty, from the Chroniques de St. Denis.)Obviously, the parallels aren’t perfect.

As I teased, it was published at the wrong time in comic book history - if DC had planned it, they couldn’t have published it at a worse time!
