Of all the 200+ ones he's published what's your favorite?
I'll say this now: I collect them so I have access to a lot of ones that casual readers may not be familiar with ("Satan's Master," "Hit Parade," "Soul Story," etc).
For me, it's a toss up between "Lisa" and "Wounded Children." Really though, all the ones about either homosexuality or evolution ("Apes, Lies, and Mrs. Henn" being the best after "Big Daddy?").
"The Storyteller" is a fun one. That's the one that alleges that Islam was created by the RCC to control the middle east (why they didn't just convert everyone there to Catholicism is never stated).
Who here likes which one(s)?

Lisa has to be the sickest one. Here's something that's bothered me about that one since I first read it years ago. Every tract is drawn with the audience in mind; many of them address specific issues or sins. You give out something like "Sin City" to homosexuals. You leave copies of "The Death Cookie" on the pews in a Catholic church. "A Love Story" is a good all purpose one. With that in mind, my concern is, first off, just who the hell were you supposed to give that one to, and how the hell would you know? The mind boggles.

I only really know the D&D one. I'm usually happy to ignore Jack Chick.

I didn't even think of it that way, now I'm going to have nightmares. Is this how a fundie wife says she knows what he's doing? Oh, and Somebody Loves Me is another horrible one.

I lol'd at the Big Daddy one. So pathetic how they attempt to disprove evolution...

Mine is definately "Doom Town." Check this shit out: www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0273/0273_01.aspThe best part is when Chick depicts gay people as considering infecting donated blood with AIDS (which he calls "blood terrorism" when the real term would be biological warfare) in order to gain attention for the gay rights cause. Seriously, this guy's fucking batty.

Oh, and this is the only known photo of Jack Chick (the douchebag on the left).

Lisa has to be the sickest one. Do you have a link for this? (Or does it have another title?) I'm on chick.com, but don't see a tract by that name

'Lisa' has always made my skin crawl. It makes me beyond sick. Ugh. I hadn't thought about what Detrs said, but now that it's BEEN said.... yeah, I see your point. Who IS the intended audience? Is it to scare people away from porn or is it to make people forgive kiddie fiddler? I have no idea. Either way, the skin crawls.
Also--that picture of Jack Chick puts me in mind of every old guy who was ever nabbed on To Catch a Predator.

Yep! I miss that show, it used to give me such schadenfreude. But yeah, Jack Chick just looks like one of those skeezy perverts that masquerades as the Neighbourhood Nice Guy, and invites all of the kids over to their house and then fiddles them in the swimming pool. I'm not saying he DOES do that, that's just kind of the vibe he gives off.
