Monday Maternity Madness Redux CHOICES "Abortion: What Would Hippocrates Say?"

On the second anniversary of Dobbs V Jackson Women's Health Organization...

...we re-present a tale from Choices, a benefit comic produced in 1989, about the almost-equally-stupid Webster V Reproductive Health Services verdict,when we thought that was the worst that could happen to America's women!

"Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it!"

Written and illustrated by William Messner-Loebs, a multi-award-winning writer/artist who would do an acclaimed run on DC's Wonder Woman a couple of years after this.

Reading Room ANYTHING GOES "Heroes"

Sometimes you come across a beautiful piece that speaks for itself...
...such as this never-reprinted Alex Toth piece from Fantagraphics' "benefit book" Anything Goes! #1 (1986)
Exactly what Anything Goes was can be discovered HERE.
Several such "benefit books" (and "benefit portfolios") were produced in the 1980s, including Eclipse's Destroyer Duck (to aid Steve Gerber in his Howard the Duck lawsuit against Marvel), and Last Gasp's Strip AIDS U.S.A. (benefiting the Shanti Project, an AIDS education and support organization!)
