Read the incredible story behind the tracts, the artists, and the phenomenon of Jack T. Chick! The Art of Jack T. Chick is filled with full color art and images from every known Chick tract, comic, and graphic novel.
It also contains an extensive price guide, based on four years of auction activity and private sales. You'll be stunned to find out what some of the 15¢ tracts are now worth. Could you be sitting on a treasure trove of tracts?
The amusing critiques that made Chickcomics.com famous are also included, plus new reviews for all the other titles not included on the site (about a third more!) Even previously unknown tracts are illustrated and profiled.
Learn about the Chick insiders, including John Todd, Alberto Rivera, and Rebecca Brown, plus the ultra-talented Fred Carter. You'll also learn about the mysterious THIRD tract artist. Could it really be the artist Chick's files suggest (someone very famous in the field of art!)?
Join the author as he meets the reclusive Mr. Chick and literally goes behind the scenes at Chick Publications. See how the tiny storefront expands into a giant facility that papers the planet with Gospel literature. Peer into Chick's giant archival vault, and uncover the many surprises that await there.
This large (10.5 x 8 inch) softcover book contains 224 pages and is fully illustrated with 580 dynamic images (most in color). It's a fun and fascinating read. You'll be amazed and amused. It's a great gift to anyone with an interest in comics, religion, political correctness, conspiracies, or humor.

Price guide? Huh

I think my Mom still has a box somewhere with a bunch of old Jack Chick tracts. Wonder how much those are worth?
And before you ask, no. She just thought they were funny.
