COMICS WITH PROBLEMS issue #21

CAPTAIN AWARENESS - SEXUAL ASSAULT ON CAMPUS

or, "Oh what? Just because a superhero lady likes to look pretty and wear a tiny short skirt she's asking for it?" (we're joking)

Comic book produced in 1998, endorsed on the front cover (shown above) by RAINN, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network:

"the nation's largest anti-sexual assault organization. RAINN operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline and carries out programs to prevent sexual assault, help victims and ensure that rapists are brought to justice."

Benefit comic. Proceeds went to RAINN and also AWSDA, Association for Women's Self Defense Advancement. Comic is drawn by George Perez (Wonder Woman), Norm Breyfogle (Batman) and Alex Ross (Superman), others.

PROBLEM DEALT WITH:
Published during a time when superhero comics were criticized for over-sexualizing almost any issue.
