Anyone know of other odd and disturbing Marvel or DC stuff one shot specials of a young character being molested in either the showers, locker rooms or in a living room? Generally a taboo subject, until more recent years. It's also a hard subject to do sensitively and not many have gone there. One of the few comics that I can think of that really explored abuse is the Grendel two-part miniseries, Devil Child, written by editor Diana Schutz. It explores Stacy Palumbo, Hunter Rose's ward and how screwed up she was. Hunter Rose murders her parents (her father was a mobster) and adopts her, but she discovers the truth and sets up his battle to the death with Argent. The mini follows Stacy afterward, as she grows into adulthood. She is manipulated and abused by her therapist, who she ends up marrying, who engages in sado-masochistic sexual practices with her, in a less than consensual manner. It was a really dark tale from what was already a dark series. It proved too much for many people. Schutz was focusing on the destructive nature of systematic abuse, which fit into Grendel's theme of the destructive nature of aggression and violence.

There was an Elementals special that dealt with the subject... A very moving response from a fan appeared in one of the regular series issues that followed.

Yes MDG, I'm talking about that Spider Man power pack special but I was asking if there's been other comic book one shots like that where they deal with disturbing locker room incidents or whatever.

Cant remember the issues but Wolfman/perez touched on the subject in their 4 issue storyline of runaway kids running drugs and prostitution. I found those issues very powerful and disturbing.

I had no idea this series made it to issue #6! A number that is pronounced "sex" in Norwegian, appropriately enough!
