BOILED ANGEL, a comic so vile that the creator, Mike Diana, was the first person ever convicted of Artistic Obscenity in the United States back in 1993. Judge Walter Fullerton of Florida sentenced Mike Diana to three years supervised probation, a $3000 fine, 1,248 hours of community service, state-supervised psychiatric evaluation (to be paid out of his own pocket), to take an ethics-in-journalism class, and to submit to unannounced, warrantless searches of his personal papers by the police and deputized probation officers from the Salvation Army, which would allow them to seize any drawings or writings. In July of 1997, a petition for a writ of certiorari was denied by the United States Supreme Court, ending any hope of Mike Diana overturning his conviction.
Truly, it can be said that Boiled Angel and the reaction it inspired was one for the comics history books, but I can't find full scans of any of the eight issues produced. I was hoping that one of my fellow /co/mrades might have something, but if not, then maybe we should consider a board project of finding and scanning whatever issues we can find so that Boiled Angel is preserved for the comics fags of the future.
