The Death Cookie

Jack T. Chick’s The Death Cookie is a single-issue evangelistic comic from Chick Publications, first released in 1988 and still in print. Written and drawn by Chick himself, it uses a stark, black-and-white style to dramatize the spiritual peril of taking communion unworthily, a theme central to the publisher’s fundamentalist Christian message. As a compact but enduring tract, it exemplifies Chick’s signature blend of horror-tinged morality and urgent proselytizing.
