Free Speeches

In 1998, Oni Press published this single-issue comic that presents a series of unadorned, text-driven monologues—a quiet but pointed meditation on the First Amendment. Written and illustrated by a single creator, the book strips away traditional superheroics to let its characters speak directly about the limits and liberties of free expression. It stands as a small, focused artifact of late-1990s alternative comics, offering a thoughtful snapshot of the era's debate around speech and censorship.
