Anyone collect Chick Tracts OA? 0

[NC101]

One thing I've wondered about is whether or not the original art for those Chick Tracts is something people collect- would there even be a market for that? Part of me thinks they could be highly sought after, and part of me thinks they would be worth very little. Anyone ever heard anything?

No matte which way others fall, any/all would be highly collectible by me.

But I don't believe any of it is in the wild.

If someone could disabuse me of that notion, that would be very exciting!

I second Vodou's sentiment. Never heard even a whisper of any of this stuff hitting the market.

Who wants $10k?

That's what I'd pay for this painting.

[vodou]

I'd do $6k for this one.

I have a sincere soft spot for kitsch and several years ago I spent some time digging around, trying to figure out if any of the O/A from these tracts was available.  As far as I can tell, it's all locked away at best or has been lost to time at worst.

Like vodou, I'd definitely be willing to pony up for nice examples.

I'm sure everyone who is chiming in on this thread is well aware of this already, but if any lurkers who take a peek are not, Daniel Raeburn wrote a great long-form essay on Chick tracks a couple of decades ago in the Imp #2.  It can be downloaded for free at https://danielraeburn.com/jack-chick.html

Some of these, especially the older ones, have some very nice artwork. Has anyone reached out tho Chick Publishing? They're still around despite Jack Chick's passing. In fact, after reading this thread, I ordered some Thanksgiving tracts!
