The Letter

Jack T. Chick's The Letter (1982–present, Chick Publications) is a single-issue Christian comic tract that presents a fictional letter from a dying father to his son, urging him to reject secular teachings and embrace a literal interpretation of the Bible for salvation. Created and illustrated by the famously reclusive Jack T. Chick, this stark, black-and-white pamphlet exemplifies the evangelist's signature style: a direct, confrontational narrative paired with simple, expressive artwork. As a cornerstone of Chick's vast tract ministry, it reflects the publisher's enduring mission to spread a specific, fundamentalist Christian message through accessible, often controversial comics.
