Halsted Street: Torment & Drama from the Hog Butcher

Halsted Street: Torment & Drama from the Hog Butcher, a single-issue comic from Kitchen Sink Press in 1990, offers a gritty, slice-of-life glimpse into Chicago’s working-class neighborhoods. While the series never expanded beyond this debut, it stands as a raw, unpolished artifact of alternative comics’ fascination with urban realism and the city’s industrial soul.
