"You Will Be There!" is a 6-page fold-out comic book done by Life Messengers around 1980 (which is around the time Life Messengers went out of business). Unlike previous Life Messenger comic book tracts that had a format similar to Chick tracts, this one is a short unstapled pamphlet. It shows an unremarkable debate between a white guy skeptic in a business suit and an unseen believer/narrator. The only interesting elements of the tract are the usual good artwork by veteran comic book artist Deryl Skelton (who also drew Life Messenger's "The Lonely Cabin on the 40-Mile" which was featured by the museum here) and an unintentionally funny panel about evolution (see below). The story of Life Messenger is here.
