The Chaplain

Jack T. Chick’s The Chaplain (2005–present) is a single-issue comic from Chick Publications, a publisher known for its evangelical tracts. Written and illustrated by Chick himself, the story follows a military chaplain navigating spiritual warfare on the battlefield. This brief but intense work exemplifies Chick’s signature style of stark, black-and-white art and direct, confrontational storytelling. It matters as a focused, late-career example of Chick’s enduring mission to blend Christian evangelism with dramatic, real-world settings.
