Holy Joe

Holy Joe, a single-issue comic from Chick Publications, launched in 1972 as a Gospel tract by the prolific Jack T. Chick, who both wrote and illustrated its stark, confrontational evangelism. The story follows a young man whose faith is tested by a demonic conspiracy, reflecting Chick’s signature blend of apocalyptic urgency and anti-Catholic themes. Though brief, it remains a notable artifact of Chick’s decades-long, self-published ministry, which shaped a distinctive niche in American comic book history.
