Dive into this trilogy of funny and touching stories about growing up Catholic in the Lone Star State.
REVIEWS:
""Bask in the beauty of TEXAS TRACTS, a brilliant co-option of the insidious Chick tracts that were used to hurt people. She’s transformed the concept into something incredibly warm and healing. And they look stunning."
– Comic Book Couples Counseling
"What works so well here isn’t simply in the immediate parody of a notorious source but the way in which Meyer uses the original format to create a more layered social commentary, going beyond the obvious critique of belligerent religious teaching and offering a profound and nuanced reflection on the importance of breaking free from group indoctrination and embracing individual freedom of thought."
– Broken Frontier
"As for the cartooning in these three comics, it’s uniformly exemplary: Meyer is a modern master of shading and wash effects, her figure drawing is equal parts singular and fundamentally sound, and her style is versatile enough to encompass the heavier and more somber aspects of the story in Joy Ride as well as the (sorry to invoke the term, but) “feel-good” and self-affirming tone of Rainbow Collie. She’s got talent the size of Texas in her, of that there is absolutely no doubt."
– Four Color Apocalypse
"I think the artwork throughout does a lovely job of drawing you into the world with a balance of detailed panels and use of blank space to draw the attention and prevent this physically, small book from feeling visually cluttered."
– WWAC
"They’re cute, gorgeously rendered and each one made me smile and laugh.”

Product Description:
Each boxed set contains three books. These stand-alone stories combine to form a larger tale about early role models and independent thinking.
> HOLY DIVER: The Devil is in the details, or perhaps he’s hidden in the grooves of a heavy metal album.
> JOY RIDE: How far will you go to protect your kids, especially as they speed towards adulthood?
> RAINBOW COLLIE: Does art have a place in the church? It does if you’ve got a rainbow in your heart.
I designed the box set to be an enjoyable collector's item. It also fits snugly on your bookshelf. Dimensions of the box set are 70x128x10 mm, and each book contains 24 pages for a total of 72 pages of devilish delight.
