Fred Carter (June 22, 1938 – May 9, 2022) was an American comic book artist known for the work he did on Jack Chick's tracts which promote Protestant fundamentalism.
[1] After he won second place in the competition, Carter studied at the American Academy of Art in Chicago on scholarship but had to drop out after a year due to economic circumstances.
Carter, wanting to create art in a Christian setting, moved to California and started working for Jack Chick in 1972.
[2] In 1985, Carter started creating a series of oil paintings depicting the story of Jonah for a comic; an undertaking which proved to be too expensive.
However, Carter continued creating oil paintings depicting biblical scenes for Chick's 2001 film The Light of the World.
