Clive Barker Artist Turns To Evangelical Christian Comics
Dan Lawlis is a comic book artist whose work was most prominent in the eighties and nineties. As well as working on superhero comic books such as X-Men, Cloak And Dagger, Shadowmasters, Barb Wire and Spider-Man, he also drew a number of Clive Barker comics, namely Nightbreed and Book Of The Damned.

Orange Peel 3 is a Christian evangelical science fiction/fantasy parallel set on the planet GoddEarth overrun by many species and enslaved with a Godless dictatorship that has turned the world against itself. There are straw men and caricatures everywhere and the alien races help exacerbate that, most prominently in a Pro Life rally where the participants all have fanged teeth – and just before the protagonist is visited by an angelic aborted alien fetus.
Yes, there's a fair bit of that kind of thing.
