War in the Neighborhood

Seth Tobocman’s War in the Neighborhood, a single-issue comic published by Autonomedia in 1999, is a sharp, politically charged work of graphic journalism. Blending his signature scratchboard art with urgent storytelling, Tobocman documents urban conflict and grassroots resistance in New York City, capturing a moment of social upheaval with raw, DIY energy. It stands as a potent artifact of the underground comix tradition, where art and activism collide.
