Every Man Is Innocent Until Proven Broke

Johnny Hart and Brant Parker brought their signature blend of wry humor and sharp social commentary to Gold Medal Books with this two-issue 1976 series. A satirical look at the American dream gone sideways, it follows the misadventures of an Everyman whose financial struggles are only matched by the absurdity of the system he's trapped in. While brief, the series stands as a clever, underappreciated snapshot of mid-70s economic anxiety filtered through the team's distinctive, deadpan cartooning style.
