In addition to the anime, the Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt series also has a comic book by TAGRO. Dark Horse has licensed the comic book in English, describing the story:
Panties and Socks are cute but extremely dangerous angels, cast out of heaven for wrath, sloth, lust, envy, avarice and gluttony (at least pride isn't high on their list). Now residing among the sinners of Daten City, the angels attempt to earn their way back to grace by banishing evil at the behest of their dubious preacher boss, the Afro-clad Garterbelt!
