The Word Became Flesh

Jack T. Chick's infamous evangelistic tract, The Word Became Flesh, was a single-issue comic published by Chick Publications from 1984 to 2000. Written and illustrated by Chick himself, this stark, black-and-white booklet presents a literal, fundamentalist interpretation of the Gospel of John, using the creator's signature blunt, confrontational style. Though brief, it stands as a concentrated example of Chick's decades-long mission to spread his uncompromising religious message through the comic form.
