Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary by Justin Green

Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary by Justin Green

A lost classic of underground cartooning, Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin

Mary is Justin Green's autobiographical portrayal of his struggle with

religion and his own neuroses. Binky Brown is a young Catholic battling all

the usual problems of adolescence?puberty, parents, and the fear that the

strange ray of energy emanating from his private parts will strike a picture

of the Virgin Mary. Deeply confessional, with artwork that veers wildly

between formalist and hallucinogenic, Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary

is the controversial masterpiece that invented the autobiographical graphic

novel.
