Review (in 1996):
Anyone who's ever ridden a bus or spent too much time at a laundromat has probably read at least one of Jack Chick's little religious comic books. This "fan" (or "anti-fan") page gleefully examines to work of Chick, publisher of dozens of religious tracts and newsletters over the past few decades.

Chick's comments are "obsessed with hell and the more gruesome aspects of the gospel". Archived mini-tracts and comic books are the centerpiece here, but fans ("Chicklets") can also hear the voice of Jack Chick in sampled sound files.

The Webmasters (who are themselves Christians) poke fun at elements in the tracts like Chick's fear and loathing of the Catholic church, elements they believe represent the worst side of fundamentalism. Other common Chick motifs, they note, include a "bad person or devil laughing HAW! HAW!" and "God as a giant light-bulb-headed judge".
As reviewed in the 1996 "World Wide Web Top 1000" - a review of the Top 5% of all Web Sites in 1996.
