You Don't Have to Fuck People Over to Survive

Seth Tobocman’s solo comic from Soft Skull Press, launched in 1999 and still ongoing, is a raw, handmade manifesto of anarchist and anti-capitalist thought. Through stark, expressionist black-and-white art and dense, polemical narratives, it explores gentrification, police violence, and the struggle for collective survival outside corporate greed. Tobocman’s singular voice—both writer and artist across the single issue—makes this a cornerstone of radical, self-published political comics, embodying the ethos of DIY resistance.
