Chick Tracts ⇑ ⇓
Jack Chick publishes the gold standard of wacky religious tracts. Full of bigotry, ignorance, intolerance, and conspiracy theories, Chick tracts often read like a parody of religious literature, and have been attracting mockery for decades.

Chick Comic Books ⇑ ⇓
In addition to his well-known tract series, Jack Chick has published several series of large-format comic books, including the Crusaders series and the Alberto series. Their larger size means that each one carries a larger dose of Chick's patented insanity. The Crusaders series features a sort of spiritual A-Team who travel around spreading the gospel. The Alberto series is a dramatization of the life of Alberto Rivera, who claimed to be a Catholic priest and told horror stories about a Jesuit conspiracy to rule the world.

The Truth For Youth ⇑ ⇓
The Truth For Youth by Tim Todd at Revival Fires Ministries is a series of comics specifically aimed at teenagers, featuring manga-style art and plotlines that address the real lives of modern teens. Riiight.
While it sure looks a lot better than Jack Chick's work and doesn't feature the same obvious paranoia, xenophobia, racism, or anti-Catholicism as Chick's writing, at its core, this stuff is the same. The brew of fear mongering, spurious science, and general misinformation will still make your head spin.

| Jessica, Andrew |

Spire Christian Comics ⇑ ⇓
What would happen if you took Archie (as in "with Jughead"), sent him to Seminary and then had him lecture all of his friends on catechism like an irritating little snot. You'd get the Spire Christian Comics, of course. Along with a Hollywood Squares like line-up of celebrity guests including Johnny Cash, Tom Landry, Hal Lindsey and others it's all the joys of watching Hee Haw if it swallowed a wagon full of Bibles and couldn't stop puking them all over the floor of the barn dance!

Miscellaneous Other ⇑
Jack Chick and Revival Fires aren't the only outfits that publish religious comics. A quick trip through any Christian store will turn up numerous tracts by other authors and publishers. Most of these aren't as over-the-top and insane as Jack Chick, and therefore less interesting- but some are amusing in their own special ways.
