The Promise

Jack Chick’s The Promise (2001–present, Chick Publications) is a single-issue Christian comic tract that distills the entire biblical narrative into a stark, illustrated sermon. Written and drawn by the prolific Jack Chick, it uses his signature blunt, black-and-white style to present a straightforward gospel message from Creation to the Cross. As a late-career work from one of the most widely distributed independent comic creators, it exemplifies the evangelical passion and controversial simplicity that made Chick’s tracts a cultural phenomenon.
