A departure from the Chick Tract morality plays, That Old Devil is Satan's biography (so to speak), tracing his origins from the dawn of time throughout history. Most of this is straight biblical quotes and interpretations, and so we don't get into any juicy Chick Tract territory until the last third of the comic, where we are warned about Satan's attempts to destroy faith through spreading belief in reincarnation and "respectable religions that push good works and ignore the Word of God" (Apparently, Satan is behind Roman Catholicism, Islam, Mormonism, Masonry, and Jehovah's Witnesses, for starters). Satan's other crafty tricks include "phoney" religious leaders, Satanists (of course), and heavy metal bands - aka "Satan's Pied Pipers" - a popular Chick Tract target. But the joke is on the Satanists, as the comic closes with scriptures that predict Satan's eventual surrender to Christ. "When the devil bows before Christ... the Satanists will go insane... they will realize they were betrayed... and throughout eternity they will gnash their teeth in pain and curse Satan in the flames of hell." Those silly Satanists just never learn. ( )
