Abortion Eve #[nn]

"The Rap" is a striking, historically significant 1973 comic from Nanny Goat Productions, marking one of the earliest known fictional portrayals of abortion in American comics. Written and illustrated by Chin Lyvely and Joyce Sutton, the story presents a straightforward, matter-of-fact look at the procedure through the experiences of its characters, including details on the types of abortions and what occurs before, during, and after. The collaborative work of Lyvely and Sutton extends to the cover, which features their joint pencils and inks, capturing the story’s direct, unflinching tone.
