Comments on: Madonna's cautionary AIDS comic, handed out at a 1987 concert http://boingboing.net/2012/01/27/madonnas-cautionary-aids-com.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:41:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Dicrel Seijin http://boingboing.net/2012/01/27/madonnas-cautionary-aids-com.html#comment-1331470 Dicrel Seijin Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:19:00 +0000 http://boingboing.net/?p=141010#comment-1331470 I would have been in middle school when this came out. The fear was quite real. At that time, AIDS was a death sentence. Still, the comic book geek in me wants to track down a copy of this. I would have been in middle school when this came out.

I was 14 at the time and figured that girl got herpes. Did Chick redo it to be about AIDS? I'll have to check the Chick site and see. Sure wish I had copies of "Lisa" and "The Lost Children", JTC cancelled them as just too weird.  I have to say that this AIDS comic is a lot better that this Spider-Man PSA comic from 1984. http://www.politedissent.com/archives/982 I have a vintage 1981 or ’82 copy of “That Crazy Guy”.

Guess the farm folk in the heartland would have gone ballistic over this, or the record company wouldn't help cover it for the whole tour (she wasn't a Zillionaire yet back then)/ I was happy to see that these were handed out at a NYC show.

Seeing what people were saying and doing is a stark reminder of how savage people get when they are scared. Man, that was a scary time.
