Chick Tracks

I think I still have some of them stored away. Now you've peaked my interest and I will have to go through storage boxes. And weren't there some "Christian" comic books that were put out about the same time?

I think they are in my garage now, along with a couple of football & baseball trophies.

Yes, there were other "Christian" comics. Jughead & Archies "Clean Slate" comes to mind.

I liked the Christian comics. They sold those at the White Wing publishing house during Assemblies and they gave me something to do during the CPMA program.

I remember I had a Christian comic about Charles Colson! Now that's kid friendly entertainment!

Remember "God's Smuggler"?

You mentioning the chick tracts brought back a memory... my kids, when they were little but old enough to read, (like 6 or 7) would sit down at the floor at church as soon as we got there beneath the tract rack and read the Chick Tracts... I would have to take away some of them because they were too racy!

The very best one: "This Was Your Life"

Remember "God's Smuggler"?

I had that one, too!

I had just about all of them at one time. I'm not sure where they are now. Remember the one about the demon possessed girl? The ones about the mark of the beast and the antichrist were interesting too.

I also had most of the Chick comics being an avid comic fan (mostly Richie Rich) for most of my early teen years.

I mentioned Chick's tracts and comics about Alberto Rivera earlier. I took the time to read a few of them for free online and then did some internet research of my own concerning Alberto Rivera. My jaw dropped to the floor when I read that in 1967 he went to work for the CoGoP. Charles Hawkins name was dropped as the man who discovered that Rivera had written a check from a closed account.

While a lot of the conspiracy theories Rivera mentions are seemingly the inner workings of a paranoid schizophrenic mind there are some nuggets of truth concerning Catholic doctrine concerning mass and Mary. Just thought a tie to the CoGoP was interesting to note here on J2.

Yeah I saw the COGOP connection when I was checking things out on the net. Looks like Hawkins reported him to be passing bad checks.

Here's a link to a site that has a bunch of Chick Tracts online:

Read a few of them. I still think Jack Chick is nuts. I don't think his heavy handed tactics are really all that productive in winning the lost. You can't scare people into living a Christian life.

I read that he believes the Catholic church started the religion of Islam.
