Fred Carter (artist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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][2]
Carter was born in Danville, Illinois on June 22, 1938, to an African-American family. Little is known about his early life or family. As a student in high school, he was encouraged by an art teacher to submit his work for an art competition run by the American Academy of Art in Chicago.[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.[3][4] Carter converted to Christianity at age 18.[4]
