then Nebuchadnezzar spake and said
blessed be the god of Shadrach Meshach
and Abednego hello have you heard the
good word the good word of Jack T chick
comics you don't have to go to hell
anymore you can go to heaven if your
name is written in the book of life and
will be if you read these comics if
you've never heard of Jack T chick or
his publications Jack chick is a
cartoonist and publisher of Christian
religious tract comic books which have
been distributed globally in hundreds of
languages and are possibly the most
widely distributed published comics of
all time he uses these to try to convert
the unsaved into Christians so that when
they die they don't have to go to the
horrible hell which he repeatedly draws
Leafly in his own books I was first
introduced to the publication's of Jack
teach it through this comic a demons
nightmare which I found my father's
shelf as a nine year old and I was
utterly confused by it it was kind of
like finding our crumb Will Eisner or
Mad Magazine for the first time and the
feelings it brings forth in you are
somewhere between like curiosity fear
confusion it was similar to the first
time I found a Penthouse magazine under
my dad's bed and there was like a
lesbian pictorial and I didn't
understand what's happening Jack T chick
he was a world war two veteran he met a
lady from her very religious family and
then he discovered the old-fashioned
revival our radio show which is what
converted him to this weird form of
Christianity these comics are kind of
amazing that they present Christianity
is just a series of kind of hateful
lessons there's not really a lot of love
it doesn't really learn you in it uses
the stick and not much of the carrot to
try to convert you there's a comic about
being a drunk it's pretty good
Jerry what are you doing get out of here
Alice that's all the money you've got in
the world
you'll spend that money over my dead
body let go of me Alice you've already
ruined this family how to stop it give
me that money Jerry why is this funny to
me
this one the death cookie if you can't
immediately guess it's all about Roman
Catholicism Jack T chick blames Roman
Catholics for most of the world's evils
oh this one's about how Jehovah's what
is suck because the can't accept blood
we've got a bleeder what a mess a little
girl's bleeding to death and her folks
are Jehovah's Witnesses and they will
not accept the transfusion the way he
presents homos is so amazing look at
this couple it's completely based on I
don't know what it's really weird
this is the most classic and well-known
and reprinted chick tract this was your
life I think I was given this copy by a
lady in the subway she had a lot of acne
I remember glenwood dealt acne it shows
a guy living it up and then he has a
heart attack and dies he's trying to
justify himself to the angel he's saying
now look I've lived a real good life I
was no different than anyone else
everything has been recorded the giant
angel man says and then they watch a
movie of his life and we see him being
gross and then he walks into a big awful
lake of fire where he guess he lasted
like hanging out the rest of eternity
the art style is is planted very firmly
in 1950s style advertising illustration
and gag comic illustration it's not very
good basically also I should mention
these comics have not just been
translated into every language they've
also made black versions of the of the
more popular comics in the series so you
can see this was your life with
Caucasians or with urban gentlemen if
that's what you need
when I read these comics I wonder if
humanity's worth saving because the
world within these comics is so horrible
that hell doesn't seem worse than Earth
or heaven really these comics have been
in print for decades and it's kind of
strange that these are some of the most
popular comics ever made I mean they're
the most printed the most read the most
distributed and yet we don't know the
names of all the people who've drawn
them Jack Chick originally drew all the
comics himself and at some point started
listening at least one or two or three
other artists it's hard to say how many
and very little is known about Jack T
chick himself the last public interview
he gave was in 1975 supposedly it's so
strange that so many people's ideas of
Christianity and comics are being formed
by these weird little booklets that are
weird representations of both comics and
Christianity you might think you know
everything about comics but there's
always more to know you might think you
know everything about Christianity but
these comics can probably tell you some
more things that you didn't know like
that Roman Catholics are Satanists Jack
T chick if you're still alive in Rancho
Cucamonga and if you have the internet
and are watching this I just want you to
know I'd love to meet you someday and I
hope that when you die your name is
written in the book of life

Oh
