Welcome to the

Museum's VARIATIONS Index

 

 

Where you can keep track of known Chick Tract variations!

A variation is a tract that has been released in more than one form. Different covers, cartoon panels or different dialog. (Different type fonts and inside cover prayers or back cover changes are not listed here, nor are slightly different cover colors.) Be sure to understand the Chick page numbering system before using these notes. Also be aware that not every difference between two different variations is listed-- just the most obvious / interesting ones. Here's a list of known tracts that have variations. It is NOT complete, but we'll add more as you notify us.

A Love Story: Redrawn with an all black cast by Fred Carter and renamed Who Loves You?

Allah Had No Son: Early version stars clean shaven Christian while later version he's grown a mustache. Early version accuses Muhammad of child abuse on page 10 while later version does not. But there is also a mix/match version with the clean shaven Christian with the modern text (not accusing Muhammad of Child abuse). Also, page 5a, used to say "We expect a Muslim flag to fly over the White House by 2010." Now (0822.6) it says "...in the near future." Eventually redrawn with a mostly black cast (by Fred Carter) and renamed Who Is Allah?

Angels: Satan is printed in red on page 21 in some versions (e.g. "F"), other times not. Early version (e.g. "B") has different text on page 22. Tom claims he is no longer a "rock-a-holic.") There is a minor cover variation where the red graphic surrounding the rock start runs from the top to bottom on the front, compared to the other version where it stops 1/8th an inch from the cover's border. The latest version on Chick's website shows a different background on the cover: Spot light beams replace what used to be clouds.

Are Roman Catholics Christians: Different covers. Early version has illustration of Mary on cover with burning snake, later version has Rosary on front. Early version has title in green or white.

Another change was noticed as of April 04, on page 18. (Origins of Mary and Child motif.)

The Assignment: Page 3 of earlier versions say, "I think we can use her for a penetration." Modern versions replace the suggestive phrase with, "I think we can use her."

The Attack: A change on page 21 is reported to appear on the web site version, but this has yet to make it though the inventory and into collector's hands (as of 4/04). Possible page 9 change as well.

Back From the Dead: "Allah" is added to the list of deadly beliefs on page 19.

Bad Bob: Early version had text ALL IN CAPITOL LETTERS, but eventually changed to regular fonts and revised some text as well, including changing lines like "OH CRUD" to "Oh, no!" (page 7). Also, the "Living Bible" loses it's title in the more recent version (page 8).

The Beast: Early Medium Oversized 40 and 48 page versions exist (both are 5 x 3 3/8s inches), as well as the standard 24 page tract. The 40 page version also eventually makes the Beast wears Catholic vestments. The (normal size) Beast also has a version with shading around the cover graphic (like The Sissy). Finally, there is also a 52 page version (©1966). It has most the same art as the other oversized versions, but instead of flying through the clouds, the souls actually shoot up from cars on the freeway. The extra pages are used primarly for text.

Best Friends: Redrawn by Fred Carter with an all black cast and renamed Soul Sisters

Bewitched: Newer reissue (©2000) changes main character's name to Ashley (instead of Debbie). Other minor text changes. Original 1970 version has "Dark Shadow" show on the TV (page 2). 1972 and up versions replace it with "Bewitched".

The Big Deal: On page 15, the last line in version A says, "Ronnie, Laban wasn't finished yet." Version B replaces it with "But he was on a collision course with God." Both versions have the same date codes [0418.1] (Reported by Jonas & Joshua Zion)

Big Daddy: Info on evolution has changed (evolved?) in several versions. Four different versions exist, plus the original version which says on page twenty, "Then He was an invader from outer space?" (Later versions replaced the question with, "Are you saying He is the Creator?") Also, the Spanish version has the student's hair black... until page 16 and the last panel when it goes white (from fear?) The current Chinese version still has the older hair styles from earlier variations.

The Broken Cross (Crusader Comic) The first printing had a different cover, featuring the same shield as OPERATION BUCHAREST (issue #1). Except the BROKEN CROSS shield had hooded figures sacrificing a girl on it.

The Bull: Different dialog. The Bull continues to cuss after being saved in earlier versions. On page 11 he screams "@*#! chaplain" (as late as 36/H).

Burn Baby Burn: Page 19 has slightly different profiles of the three Jewish brothers. Also, the name of Meshach in the subtitle above the BURN BABY BURN title on the cover changes to Meschach. (This happens sometime between version up 11.4 and 4.6)

Cats: Different covers. Both have lions on front, one has a rocky background behind lions, the other has blank background and gold outline.

Caught!: Misspelling ("recieved" on page 22) later corrected.

Creator or Liar? Earlier version had no blue border around galaxy graphic. Version w/no border: Text rearrangements on various pages, including 15 and 20 (and dramatic font changes on pages 21 & 22). Also, a medium oversized (5 x 3 1/2") version exists, printed by Rusthoi Publications ©1969. 36 pages, with one new piece of art on page 18 (Mary getting zapped by the holy spirit).

Creator Or Liar? Available with black cast in Swahili language.

Curse of Baphomet, The: Different footnote on pages 12 and 22. (At least its in the 93/A version).

The Crisis- an older version has the words BLOOD TYPE on the blood bag and the date on the bag is different.

Dark Dungeons: The 1984 version has a variation on page 19 (Tolkien & CS Lewis listed as occultic authors, newer version of tract replaces this with bible references).

Deceived, The: Early version (B) has outline of a fist superimposed on the cover beneath the demon's tail (so called "fisting" version). Minor text changes on pages 14 and 17.

Demon's Nightmare: An early Super Oversized version exists (8 x 5 3/8s inches) plus a medium oversized version (5 x 3 5/8s inches). Both have 36 numbered pages inside and contain art that is later redrawn to better reflect modern times (clothes, hairstyles, etc.). Standard size tracts zoom in more on the demon peering around the corner on the cover in more modern versions. Also, the regular Spanish tract adds a pencil thin mustache to the street preacher. Meanwhile, there's an oversized (5.5 x 4.124") 1965 Gospel Literature Service version printed in Bombay with all redrawn art. The characters are all Indian and the language is English.

Doom Town: 2 different covers, 6 different inside variations.Version 1 (©1989) has Sodom burning on the cover. Version 2 (©1989), version 3a & 3b (©1991) and version 4a & 4b (©1999) have skull and crossbones on cover. Although versions 1 & 2 have different covers, the contents are the same. Versions 3 & 4 sandwich the story of Sodom within another story of a modern day gay rally. They feature different artwork from each other on pages 20 & 21. Page 10 has slightly different text in all four versions (where the father molests the child). There is also a slight variation within the 1991 version: One version (3a) has a "Kill the Bigots" sign on page 2, while another (3b) says "Hate is NOT a family value". (This is thought to have been an effort to prevent Gay bashing resulting from gay signs that were too antagonistic.) Two slight variations in version 4 can be seen on page 10. As the big hairy brute approaches the child for sex, the bottom of 4a reads "God heard the cries of these tortured little ones and took action". Version 4b reads "Sodom's cup of wickedness was full. It was time for God's judgement."

Also, from Clint: There's a slight variation from the 2nd reissue. Gone is the white border around the skull and cross bones on the cover. Also the printing job seems to be better, with more details visible. It also looks like some of the panels have been blown up.

The Earthmen: Different artwork and text between "A" and "E" versions.

Empty Tomb: Several faces redrawn after "A" version, as does significant text. The last page is more anti-vatican in the first version. Also, one has a cover that says Resurrection of Christ above the title and another one doesn't. Somewhere between Dec. 1996 and 2001, the art in the 2nd and 3rd to last panels are changed.

Escape: "A" version features MIG jet on page 16, and page 17 mentions Russian-German pact. "B" version replaces MIG with a picture of Moshe Dayan, and no Russian-German pact is mentioned.

Escape/
Great Escape:
"Great" was added to title and the ecology symbol removed. Also, bleaker ecological statistics were included and pages 8, 9, 18 had picture changes. Between the Great Escape "A" version and the more recent 11.9 version, panel 18A was changed. The earlier "A" version showed a mobile missile launcher made of Lignostone that "burns better than coal!". The more recent version replaces this panel with the Christian saying "During the Persian Gulf war, the news showed pictures of the Russian tanks burning."

Fire Starter: Different covers (one has gold borders around graphic, the other has white borders. A few different art changes inside.) The gold cover comes with and with out the "Elijah vs. the Prophets of Baal" at the top. Also, latest version has no question mark after the title. The "L" version has different text from earlier and later versions, beginning the story on page 2 with "my son".

The First Jaws: Different covers. One has view looking down on Jonah as he's about to be swallowed. The other has underwater side view. Also text is condensed (especially from pages 20-22). Another slight variation of the later version (profile cover) exists. Sometime after the "L" code, "BLIMEY" was changed in the very first panel. The later code (8.6) uses "GASP!" instead. Pages 3 and 21 have slight text changes as well. Version "A" has a white frame around the cover graphic, while later versions have light blue. Another difference is the image on page 12b, showing Jonah in the stomach (version A is dark with him facing upward, other versions are lighter and he's facing to the side.)

Free At Last: The negro tract originally had a black Jesus. He underwent a "race change" operation to make him more Jewish.

The Gay Blade: Original version has pink (not lavender) cover. Later version has crew cut homo on page 18 while earlier version has 1970s hair cut homo. He's more aggressive in the later version.

Going Home: Page 5 of later version adds, "Unless God heals you..."

Going to the Dogs: Verson A has different characters on page 11, and 17. "B" and "C" versions insert characters who look like Peter Lorre & Sidney Greenstreet, as well as Ernest Bordnine and Edward G. Robinson. The last panel was also redrawn.

The Greatest Story Ever Told: Different covers. Early version has purple borders around graphic, later version white borders. Pages 17 and 18 swap and page 22 is completely different. (Some foreign versions are still unchanged.)

Happy Hour: Earlier versions have bigger "close up" of mask on cover.

He Never Told Us: Different covers, same graphics. One is in yellow, another in red.

Hi There: Different race versions. Common American version with US cast, Asian version with Chinese slant eyes added to same drawings (and Chinese language.) One Chinese version has a Chinese version of death on the front, another doesn't. Also, slightly different covers in English. The newer version has blue borders around image of Death. Note also that some versions spell "Savior" and others "Saviour" on the inside back cover. (Jack prefers the King James version with "u" in it.) It was changed when they swapped to programs using Quark, and sure enough, a sharp eyed tract reader called the company and complained! The A - C versions featured a skeleton on the front that wasn't shaded. Early versions don't mention "1,000 years later" on page 18.

Hit Parade: Early version references Gen: 12:3. Later version uses Gen. 27:29b. Also, black background is added to page 21 to highlight certain text.

Holy Joe: Different covers, same graphic but early version has much smaller helmet on front with only half the green area for the graphic. Also a slightly larger 1964 Rusthoi version (5 1/2" x 4 1/4") with redrawn but very similar art except the soldiers travel to battle originally on a ship and land on an island, instead of the modern version where they fly into a jungle. The oversized is also spaced out over 32 pages (plus cover). One minor but interesting detail is the original version suggest the enemy is Japanese (like Jack fought) while the modern version features a Red Chinese enemy soldier.

[From Ramon: compare the Hebrew version of with others on that page where the Sarge is given the shoes that Holy Joe shined. The Sarge's word balloon is smaller than that of the English version, and so more of the naked female in that poster, particularly her breasts, is revealed behind it. The naked female poster alongside it isn't obscured at all in either version, but the one partially covered by the Sarge's word balloon has the model in a full frontal pose while the model in the adjacent poster poses to her side.]

How To Get Rich and Keep It: American and Asian versions.

Humbug! (One version has "?" instead of "!" after title.) Panels on page 17 swap places. Some of the text also changes.

Is There Another Christ: First version has chubby bald monk behind the mask of Jesus while later version has a priest holding the mask and dressed in fancy robes. Also, the Spanish version had redrawn ethnic characters and different art.

Kings of the East: Early versions only show a black and white "river of blood" on page 18. Later versions have spot red color added.

Kiss the Protestants Goodbye: Versions A-C may have different endings from version D and up. (This needs to be confirmed.) Page 13 of the "A" version attacks the Masons, while later versions focus more on the Vatican. Page 18 of A-C versions accuse Scofield of Masonic connections (omitted in later versions).

The Last Generation: Different color cover and end panel. The early blue cover version has pile of clothes left on the floor in the last panel of story (page 20) while the later green cover version ends with an outside shot of the cabin. On page 8, the green version has Bobby holding pictures of a puppy and kitten and saying, "My teacher said these are great for Halloween sacrifice!" (The early blue version says, "The teacher gave us pictures of these two extinct species.") The green version also has a variation: Two different panels on page 10 of violence occurring outside home, while later versions show no violence outside.

The latest reprint (a gree 2004 version) goes back to showing the piles of clothes, but it's a tight close up and doesn't show the bra.

The Last Missionary: One cover in red type, another is blue, and another is green.

The Letter: Early version doesn't give credit for author of "the poem" (D.J Higgins, page 19a), but later version does.

Lil' Susy vs. Li'l Susy: First version has different apostrophe location on title cover.

Little Princess: The German version ditches the Princess motif complete, and re-draws all panels with that costume to replace it with some sort of jacket (even the cover is redrawn and the re-title is Sandra's Greatest Wish).

Lisa: 60/D has footnote on page 22, but by the "H" version, there is no longer an address to write for molestation help.

A Love Story: Picture changes on pages 2 and 22 between versions S/370 - 1'5/610. (Some have the change on page 2, but not on page 22.) There's also an English version with black characters.

The Mad Machine: Different size graphic on cover. Early version has 1 1/2 inch width while later version has nearly 2 inches width of graphic. (Darker green too.)

Miss Universe: Text condensed by G/370 code. (For example, page 2 starts off saying the party was "the daddy of them all". The condense version drops the "daddy" reference.) White border added around cover graphic of Esther.

My Name, In the Vatican? Title in Yellow and also in White. In the yellow title variety, a small text variation can be observed in version 904.C on page 17. It says "These people have their businesses on the line in their stand for Christ. So, back them up 100% with all your business and prayers." But the other version (904/M3E-U-B) omits the second sentence.

Nervous Witch, The: The last page of the original tract has Bob spelling witchcraft, "witchraft." The current version has corrected it. Later versions also telegraph Holly's death in tract #17, with a footnote that tells readers to read "Gladys" on page 18.

One Way: Title one line for early versions, two lines for later. The graphic was a 1/2 inch smaller for earlier versions as well. Negro version for Africa also made.

Only Hope: Naxi People's version (simple Chinese) has a special Chinese people cover and combines inside panels from Greatest Story Ever Told and Empty Tomb. Several unique panels have Chinese people with special mountains in various backgrounds. They are sacred to that area of China and created quite a buzz when natives noticed them in the tract.

The Outsider: Early "A" and "B" versions feature a main character who looks like Sean Connery with a beard and full head of hair. "C" version makes him look different (adds more bangs). A good example is on page 12.

Passover Plot, The: (Same tract was issued as THE PASSOVER)

Plagues: Several panels were redrawn between B/277 and C/277. (For instance, page 3 of early version has four men in the room before Pharaoh, while later versions move closer in and show only one man bowing before Pharaoh.)

Poor Little Witch: Versions A-F feature Mandy getting murdered by Satanists. In version G, Jesus protects her from Satan (and Satanists).

The Poor Pope: Title in Orange and also white.

Poor Revolutionist: Three versions. First one has Harry (page 6) and an unnamed comrade (page 13, 14) in beards. Second version has Harry in beard on page 6 & 7, but not on page page 8. The comrade has no beard on any pages. The third version has Harry and the comrade beardless on all pages.

Reverend Wonderful: Harsher anti-Catholic text, especially at the end when Faceless God chews out the Reverend for compromising too much, not telling Catholics to leave their Church.

Room 310: Slight cover changes. One has County Ambulance written on back of ambulance. (Later version has not writing on car). Width of graphic also changes. (Earlier version 1 1/2 inch, later nearly 2 inches wide.)

The Royal Affair: Completely redrawn art. (First version ©1990, 2nd version ©1993)

Scoundrel, The: Minor text changes (from A to C versions) in pages 3 & 17. The original version quotes scripture while the later version says, "How could these little cuties be responsible for WWIII?" (page 3b).

Secret of Prayer: There are at least two versions. There is the 1972 version with a blue cover, and then it was reprinted in the late 80s with a black cover, and slightly different text. I think that the new version reflects the revisions in the Next Step. (Jeremy)

Secret Weapon: Another version was printed by the Bible & Literature Missionary Foundation with Permission from Chick Publications. It's called "Missionaries Are Fools" and is printed in a 20 page tract. All the artwork is Chicks, ©1974, but the tract was probably printed after 1983 (since most of it was also printed in Battlecry which started in 1983). There is different artwork and text from Secret Weapon, but over half of it is the same. This is NOT a custom tract printed by Chick, as it has no Chick company graphics on the back nor code. Chick also issued a "Missionaries are Fools" tract with standard Chick covers, we a 1974 copyright.

Set Free: A Mongolian Cyrillic version was made with all Chinese characters and text.

Sin Busters: Cover change (Early versions say "The Story of Moses, Part 2" while the more recent one just says "The Story of Moses".) The original 278/A version has different panels on pages 17, 19, 21 (for example, page 19 has dead laying in the desert, while newer versions have them being carried away). The later version with no "part 2" on the cover only seems to come with the modified art (ie., dead being carried off on page 19). It's the versions with "part 2" on the cover that are available with two different types of interior art. (Please notify us if you find otherwise.) In case your wondering what "part 1" is, check out PLAGUES.

Sissy, The: Early cover has lines (shading) around edges surrounding graphic.

Somebody Loves Me: Change on page 19 (later version has Christian offer to get help, early version doesn't.) The width of the graphic also changes over time. It grows to 2 inches from 1 1/2". Eventually redrawn by Fred Carter with an all black cast and renamed Hard Times

Somebody Goofed: Cover has "haw-haw, heh-he" printed where demons laugh, while later version does not. Real early versions have the demon in red after he pulls off his mask in last panel. Characters on pages 2 and 3 are updated sometime before the "haw-haw-haw" cover is changed. Old version page one, t shirt back has peace symbol. It changes to pentigram in later versions. Page 2, originally has hippy with jean jacket and peace symbol. Later version has a rocker with black shirt and skull design. One of the early regular sized versions (w/ haw-haw-haw on the cover) doesn't refer to purgatory on page 18, but instead, calls it Hades. An oversized 1966 version has completely redrawn art (which is more primative) and a different cover design (with no graphic), but the story is still the same. A more recent change is the name of the tract passed to the kid on page 11: It used to be called "YE must be born again", but now it is "YOU must..." In 2008, Fred Carter completely redrew the story with an all black cast (renamed Oops!)

Soul Story: Front graphic covers complete front of the original early version, later reprint just covers 1/3 the cover.

Superman: Cover change: Samson flexing muscles on front cover of earlier version while later version shows him pulling the pillars down.

This Was Your Life: An early Super Oversized version exists (8 x 5 1/2 inches) as well as a Medium Oversized version (5 x 3 1/2 inches). They contain minor art changes. Both have 34 interior pages. The artwork was later redrawn (but with the same plot) and reduced for what is probably Chick's most widely read tract (the standard English version). Also regular sized Negro cast version (art by Carter), two different Asian cast versions (featuring Japanese and Korean versions redrawn by Carter). A Hindi version (with several different scenes), Arabic version (with main character wearing mustache, plus other details), and a Turkish version with God as a ball of light (which has since been updated to a regular faceless God). A regular Spanish & Italian version has the regular plot, but the preacher wears a priest collar. A Tahitian version has Hawaiian characters (and a different Fred Carter style). A Huichol version with a different page 2, 12b, and 21. Future variations are planned for (probably misspelled) Marshalian, Philippine, and Waraye-Waraye (an ignored province in the Philippines-- this may be the same as the Huichol version). Changes may be as subtle as the designs on shirts, or different funeral rituals. Chick Publications relies on missionary feedback to alert them of any special cultural differences that they should include in customized tracts.

[Update from Apostate: I spotted another variation of a tract; the Negro version of This Was Your Life. The English-African version has a different first page than the other African versions. It shows the sinner smooching the girl from a different angle than the other African versions (which makes it a bit more sensuous). You also get to see the man's car through a window while the other version doesn't. In the Zulu, Swahili, and Chichewa versions Jesus is colored. In the African and Black English version, he's white.

Also the Amharic version of TWYL, on page 3 there is an Orthodox priest giving the eulogy and there's a lot more people aroung the gravesite. Also when the sinner sees himself as a baby on the screen, it's a completely different face from the standard version.]

[Update from Ramon: Remember the blonde chick that the guy lusts after in This Was Your Life? In the most recent English printing, the sinner's word baloon, "I remember doing that--but no one saw me!" covers the woman's cleavage, whereas before it was always situated below the "movie screen" frame on which the event is displayed. Compare your white English versions of This Was Your Life from 2002 and a version prior to that, and see if you can duplicate this spotting!

Also, look at the Black English version of This Was Your Life and compare the scene where the naked women are bathing to that in some other black versions like the Creole or the Chichewa tracts. Notice anything different about the women's hairdos between those tracts?

In addition, look at the funeral caption in the English version. Notice the tombstone with the cross? Now look at that panel in the Arabic and Farsi versions. Hmm, not only have the guests and the religious figure changed, but so has that tombstone!]

Update from Bill Parry: IT'S YOUR LIFE (Black version of TWYL), p. 16a: 0522.6: faceless God is black. 1228.6: new art, faceless God is now white (but remains black on p. 22).

The Terminator: Cover change. One has close up of Goliath's face, other has long view of him holding victim over his head. The long shot picture also comes in two versions-- one with the subtitle "David and Goliath", the other without.

That Old Devil: Page 16b has devil with red eyes, but sometimes it is only partial or missing totally.

The Trick: Slight variation on page 22. The earlier versions (including 11/B - 11/E codes) references the Rebecca Brown books "He Came to Set the Captives Free" & "Prepare for War". The later versions (e.g., 11/I code) reference a book and an organization called The Yoders with an address in Iowa (That's Rebecca Brown's husband's name.) Most recent versions (as early as 11/K) have no footnotes on page 22.

That Crazy Guy: Herpes version vs. modern AIDS version. Both involve text and panel changes. Original Herpes version shows diagrams explaining how VD multiplies on page 12. Another more subtle AIDS version exists-- Code L & M (and perhaps others) includes one more line of text on the very last panel: "And thank you that NOW I don't have to go to that dark, horrible, unspeakable place." (Later versions replace the line with a footnote pushing two Rick Jones books.)

That Old Devil: On page 22 of the earlier versions, it references one of Rebecca Brown's book. It's omitted later.

Titanic: There are three cover variations: One with dark cloudy sky, one with an overshadowed sky, one with a clear sky. The codes are 48/C (dark cloudy sky), 48/I (overshadowed sky) and 048 3.8 to present (clear sky). The bottom of the boat is white in the last two and black in the first cover.

The Visitors: Early version has elders named Bruce and Randy. They place a curse on Janice on page 20. (Later it's Bruce and Grant and no curse is given.)

What's Wrong With This? page 5, originally the lady calls the man "Smarty Pants" but now it has been changed to "Mr. Know It All".

Who Are They Gonna Remember? Available in blue, green and red titles. Also, the very latest (902 10.5) version has white titles, with a green background behind the graphic (of the people), and the question marks in white.

Who Loves You? (Black version of A LOVE STORY):
code 1214.6 (that means it was printed December 14, 2006): God is black on pp. 16 and 22.
code 0914.7 (Sept. 14th, 2007 to date) God is white on pp. 16 and 22.

Who Me?: Cover color change: Early cover is black and white while another is green and black ("free- take one") and another has a red and black cover (all ©1973) . The latest version has the red and black cover (©1998) and minor layout differences, including FANG on page 3! There's an Asian version featuring a Chinese lady on cover and inside. Also a German version with a blond on the front cover.

The original 1969 version had different art, almost all of which featured the blond woman thinking about and passing out tracts. In 1970, most the art from This Book Has Been Banned was combined into Who Me.

In April of 2004, the main character changed from being a blond to a brunet, both on the cover and throughout the tract. An older version (900R) had the gal with red hair.

Why No Revival: Early ©1970 version with yellow cover features Civil Rights issues. Later ©1986 version has green cover and no civil rights panels (and about 30% different art). Super Oversized version ©1961 (7 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) also exist and contains almost ALL different art. (It's Chicks very first tract!) A Medium Oversized version might also exist. There is also a small variation in the regular 1970 small version (yellow cover) on page 16. Next to the panel of "King Kong Died For Your Sins", is a street sign of "Welcome to the Church of Chit" (removed in later versions). Finally, there is a slight text variation in the green cover versions. Sometime after the "W" code, page 14 changes the statement of "Every Church has been successfully infiltrated by witches" to "Most churches..." The footnote on the same page plugs different books as well.

Wordless Gospel: African, Haitian, and New Guinea versions exist (all w/ different art). An oversized version of New Guinea The Wordless Gospel was published in 1972. It's 3 1/2" x 5 1/4". It's basically the same art (though more complete), but there are a couple minor art modifications and at least one additional art panel. There is also more red ink in the larger version, with the demon colored in red. Does this mean oversized versions of the African and Haitian versions also exist?

At least a Hatian version with the demon in red exists, but it's regular size. Each panel has a number under it. Panels 28 and 29 or switched (compared to the current version.) The back advertises "International Gospel Literature, P.O. Box 1001, Chino CA 91710" instead of Chick Publications. It's ©1973.

Wounded Children: Different footnotes and contact information provided on page 22 between "E" and "H" versions. The "H" version pushes Dr. Rebecca Brown's books.

OTHER: The entire Bob Williams series of 25 added "of 25" after the tract number on the cover. The first tract just had the number 1 circled on the front. #25 was the only one originally printed "25 of 25." Then Chick went back and retroactively added "of 25" after each number on the front cover.
