Meet Jack Chick
A Catholic writer's encounter with the elusive Jack Chick.
From the website: Recently Chick has ventured out of the world of comic book publishing to produce a feature-length movie titled The Light of the World. I unexpectedly received an invitation to the premier of the movie. Writing movie reviews is a hobby of mine, and the camp value alone of a Chick film would make it worth reviewing, so I made the trek to the premier

Good stuff. Had it been me, I would have played the part of a Jesuit assassin.

Nice post, thank you.

Pity he didn't try to get Chick a bit more riled up. It would have been interesting to see whether the pathos on display in his tracts really roils beneath the calm gentlemanly exterior presented in the article.

Here's some pix of Jack T. Chick...

From meeting him one would never suspect him to be the most infamous broadcaster of hate and paranoia in the Christian comics world. I never realised that such a world existed, but of course it does. Everything exists on the Internets, I hear that you can even buy wood on it.

JTC scares me, but not in the way he intends to.

good stuff, the_bone.

Anyone read the comics? Apparently the trick in trick or treat was taking a human for sacrifice (and here I thought it was just pooka just playing tricks). Not sure whether I should laugh at the comic or be scared that there are people out there who will read it and believe it all.

Great link. Scary man. I am constantly amazed by those who so devotedly hurt other people in their efforts to help them.

Very good link. Thankyou.
