The Thief

Jack T. Chick’s The Thief (1993–present) is a single-issue comic from Chick Publications, a standalone evangelistic tract by the legendary Jack Chick. In it, a thief on a cross beside Jesus receives a stark lesson in salvation, distilled through Chick’s signature blunt, fervent artwork and dialogue. As a concise example of Chick’s fire-and-brimstone style, it matters for its unflinching, compact portrayal of grace and judgment.
