Ivan Brunetti’s sharp, no-frills storytelling takes a hard look at the contradictions of censorship in The Comics Journal #190, where a local cop’s raid on a comics shop spirals into a messy display of hypocrisy—seizing books while turning a blind eye to nearby adult venues. With every line drawn and lettered by Brunetti himself, the issue cuts with quiet precision, capturing the absurdity and tension of authority in action.
