For nearly 40 years Jack Chick has written and published hundreds of illustrated gospel tracts in close to 100 languages. Copies of Chick?s tracts are even displayed in the Smithsonian Institute as an integral part of American culture. These fire-and-brimstone giveaway comics have been called offensive, hilarious, inspirational, and frightening. Robert Fowler has created an exhaustive index and summation of Chick?s works, examining their history as well as the views of this maverick Christian fundamentalist cartoonist. Under the guise of a collector?s resource, this book analyzes each Chick tract in detail with essential information about content and circulation. ?[Chick?s] artwork is really interesting and intense and the guy?s world outlook is so psycho and twisted.... But the books are really interesting because, sick as the stuff is, it?s so well done.? ? Robert Crumb
