[The Tycoon]

Jack T. Chick’s The Tycoon (1994–present) is a single-issue comic from Chick Publications, written and illustrated by the controversial evangelist himself. The story follows a wealthy businessman who confronts the emptiness of his material success, leading to a stark moral reckoning. Though brief, the comic is a concentrated example of Chick’s signature blend of fire-and-brimstone theology and blunt, black-and-white art. It matters as a succinct artifact of Chick’s enduring, DIY approach to religious comics, which have reached millions through direct distribution.
