This Was Your Life!

Jack Chick’s This Was Your Life! is a stark, single-issue Christian tract comic from Chick Publications, first released in 1972 and kept in print ever since. Written and illustrated entirely by Jack Chick, it presents a vivid, no-holds-barred depiction of a non-believer’s final judgment, using simple, forceful art and dialogue to drive home its evangelistic message. As one of Chick’s most famous and enduring tracts, it exemplifies the raw, confrontational style that made his work a controversial landmark in underground religious comics.
