The Visitors

A single-issue comic from Chick Publications, The Visitors (1984–present) is a religious tract in comic form, written and illustrated by Jack Chick. It presents a stark, apocalyptic narrative in which extraterrestrial visitors are revealed to be demons, serving as a metaphor for spiritual deception and the urgency of Christian salvation. This tract is a key example of Chick’s distinctive, controversial style—combining Cold War-era paranoia with fundamentalist theology—and remains in print as a staple of his vast, influential series of gospel comics.
