"Boiled Angel was an independent comic book/fanzine created by Florida-based underground artist Mike Diana. The zine contained graphic depictions of a variety of taboo and gory subject matter. In 1993, a copy of Boiled Angel #8 found its way into the hands of an assistant attorney for the state of Florida. Diana was subsequently charged with several counts of obscenity and fought a long legal battle (with the aid of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund) which he eventually lost. He was sentenced to three years of supervised probation, a $3,000 fine, 1,248 hours of community service, ordered to take a state-supervised psychiatric evaluation (and an ethics-in-journalism class, both at his own expense), to avoid contact with minors, and to completely submit to unannounced, warrantless searches by police and probation officers."
"This 45 minute documentary by Mark Hejnar is a sort of Whitman's Sampler of sickness, chronicling such wildly diverse and extreme personalities as G.G. Allin, Mike Diana, Full Force Frank, GLOD, Annie Sprinkle, and others. This collection of short clips and vile moments is certainly NOT for the squeamish, as these are the artists and performers who have taken the term 'free expression' to it's limits...and beyond."
