This Was Your Life!

Jack T. Chick's infamous, single-issue tract from Chick Publications, This Was Your Life! (2002–present), distills the publisher's fire-and-brimstone evangelical message into a stark, comics-style morality play. Illustrated by Chick himself, it presents a life review before a stern judge, emphasizing the urgency of salvation. A quintessential example of Chick's blunt, controversial storytelling, it remains a widely circulated artifact of American religious comics.
