John McCrea and Andrew Chiu, Cruel and Unusual #1, p. 9 – Prison Warden Gets “Hazed”

On pain of being eaten by an alligator, the new warden at a corrupt private prison gets processed like an inmate as her new staff look on. This satire on prisons run on both a profit motive and an obsession with TV ratings seemed outrageous at the time… Cruel and Unusal # 1, page 9 (1999).

Andrew Chiu’s inks are both heavy and clean where they need to be, drawing your eye to what the characters are seeing, to their expressions, or to the cause of their shame.
