I think that needs to be a comic strip or graphic novel or an alternate history film of some kind.

Whether or not there was a causal relationship (I donât think there was) is kind of irrelevant, because a not insignificant subset of anti-communist activists believed that there was a strong connection between satanism and communism. Even though they werenât the majority of the anti-communist movement, they had a material impact on anti-communist thought during the cold war. The overlap between the religious right and the political right came together during the cold war and is still with us today.

The US linked atheism and communism during Mccarthyism, and there may be a kernel of truth there. Not much, but some sort of non-causal link. So then, because atheism and satanism (assuming religious Christian Satanism ever existed) were both opposed to Christianity, they got conflated. As you said, it was just panic, but to those panicking it was very real.

But the causal relationship I was thinking of is that Jack Chick cannot really be considered the âfather of the Satanic Panicâ, since the Satanic Panic seemed to be running just fine without him.

Well, I think he started his comic in the mid-70s, and the height of the satanic panic was in the 80s. This overview history of the modern phenomenon charts it back to a book released in 1980:
There were likely a number of things that contributed to the panic, including the rise of the moral majority, and the populartization of a particular kind of christian thought through the chick tracts. He wasnât solely responsible for it, but was an important part of the phenomenon, Iâd wager.
