The Cross and The Switchblade comes to life in this vibrant comic book adaptation, capturing the powerful and true story of David Wilkerson, a young Pentecostal preacher who answered a divine call to minister to New York City’s most vulnerable youth in the late 1950s. This visually engaging retelling chronicles Wilkerson’s journey from a small Pennsylvania town to the gritty streets of New York, where he faced skepticism, danger, and overwhelming odds to bring hope to those trapped in cycles of addiction and gang violence.
