And here's the US reprint from Vertigo...
As Steve MacManus recounts in The Mighty One... 
"...To promote True Faith, Igor [Goldkin, publicist] sent the graphic novel to several religious groups as well as his normal group of press contacts. The NME reviewed the book as 'a brill kitchen-sink religious terrorism thriller', but others were not so taken by its tale of a disillusioned plumber who is radicalised by a group of church arsonists and embarks on a campaign of fiery retribution following the sudden death of his wife. Complaints were made and there were rumours that these had been brought to the attention of Robert Maxwell. true or not, the fact was that True Faith's 5,000 copies were suddenly recalled, withdrawn from sale after only two months"
