REVIEW SCORE 9
This groundbreaking comic book was edited by Leonard Rifas and features stories about real crime cases and other unethical deeds committed by corporations across America. Corporate Crime Comics #2 looks a bit more at criminal and ethical malfeasance that occurred outside the corporate world than the first issue, including the inspiring story of "How U.C. Davis, A Land Grand College, Saved The Tomato." Other stories include: "Ad Infinitum Ad Nauseam!" "High Film Prices Got You Down?" "Topps Stays on Top of Gumcard Biz," "The J.P. Stevens Story," and "Genocide," among others. The artwork and writing is excellent throughout, featuring contributions from Larry Todd, Harry Driggs, Peter Poplaski, Trina Robbins, Jay Kinney, Sharon Kahn Rudahl, Greg Irons and Larry Rippee.

Corporate Crime Comics #2 leverages the freedoms forged by the underground comics movement to make a statement about corporate malfeasance and the corruption of lobbyists and the government. Even thirty-plus years later, there are important lessons to be learned from this candid comic book.
