Boiled Angel

Boiled Angel was an early 1990s independent comic book created by Florida-based underground comic book artist Mike Diana. The comic contained graphic depictions of a variety of taboo and gory subject matters. It effectively became the first comic book in the United States to cause its creator to be convicted for artistic obscenity.In a 1990 review, Mike Gunderloy of Factsheet Five called Boiled Angel "a prime candidate for banning in the 90s." In 1993, a copy of Boiled Angel #8 (or "Ate") found its way into the hands of Florida Assistant State's Attorney Stuart Baggish.

We have been stripped
From the earth

Bathed in the flame of poverty

Those who cant endure
Are cast into the waste

We starve upon the slag
While they feast on gold

We are all depressed
We are all enraged

We have no place to sleep
As we work to the bone

Bloodlust is our plate
One we can hardly fill

We shall never know joy
Of course we fucking kill

At least the guns are cheap
So we can squeeze away our pain

Over the counter drugs
So we can froth our mouths

Eyes roll over white
From pills that are prescribed

Opioid overdoses
Are the only escapes left

From an industry that profits
On our untimely deaths

Walk on broken legs
To eat from gilded hands

The same hands that grip
The hammer to our steel

And beat away our perfections
Then melt us into slag

We are a violent breed
And we are born enslaved

We have been boiled down
And fucking cast away
Hatred is what drives us
Theres no way to survive
The ball and chain is a time clock
The fucking 9 to 5
We kill ourselves in droves
For our hope is lost

The pearly gates are locked
Only the rich may hold the key
And if youre one of them
Stay the f*ck away from me

Youre no brother of mine

You watched us beg in the streets
And couldnt even spare a glance
So when youre on your knees
Dont ask for a second chance

The only mercy left
Is at the end of an axe
