A woman had given out a free copy of a comic book in North Carolina for Halloween in 2025 but was arrested.

https://graphicpolicy.com/2026/03/11/north-carolina-comic-retailer-arrest-leads-to-indictment/

>In November, a comic retailer was arrested, over a comic handed out during a Trunk-or-Treat event in Sunset Beach, NC. Kathleen Hinds Lincoln, co-owner of Marvelous Issues was charged and arrested by the Sunset Beach Police Department on October 31st for some of the material in the comics provided to attendees. A copy Grendel Tales: Devil’s Hammer #1 by Matt Wagner published in 1994 by Dark Horse is at the center of it all. The comic features nudity.

>The case has been active since and kicked up in mid-February when an indictment was returned in the case by grand jurors. That does not mean that Lincoln is guilty, just that there’s enough evidence for the case to proceed.
Grand Juries just decide whether a case will go to trial. They don't determine guilt.
>>
This is such an America thing, lol. Watch her end up on a sex offender list.
>>
>>154826620 (OP)

Here's the indictment quoted in the article:
>>The jurors for the State upon above the defendant named above their oath present that on or about the unlawfully, willfully and feloniously date(s) of offense shown and in the county did KNOWINGLY DISSEMINATETO E.H., A MINOR, WHOSE AGE WAS 6 AND THUS UNDER THE AGE OF 13 YEARS, MATERIAL TO WIT: A COMIC BOOK CONTAINING IMAGES OF MEN AND WOMAN ENGAGED IN SEXUALCONDUCT, WHICH THE DEFENDANT KNEW AND REASONABLY SHOULD HAVE KNOWNTO BE OBSCENE WITHIN THE MEANING OF NCGS SEC 14-190.. THE DEFENDANT WAS 59 YEARS OLD ON THE DAY OF OFFENSE AND THUS WAS 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AT THE TIME.

And here's the rest of the article:
>With that news, an assertion for a speedy trial has been submitted by Lincoln’s attorney, an assistant public defender. Also submitted was request for a recording of all phases of the proceeding by the Court Recorder as well as a request of discovery by the defense, and a motion to sequester witnesses.

>Based on the voting registration of Brunswick County where this trial is set to take place, it is rather conservative with a 2-to-1 Republican to Democrat registration which could make this a tough fight.

>We’ll of course follow the case and update as it progresses.

I’m guessing the comics were all dollar bin fodder that they didn’t review and didn’t expect to be worse than pg-13.

I had a Devil Quest tpb in sixth grade, in school, and it felt like carrying extreme contraband. Luckily my English teacher with whom i talked about comics, was cool. Though he scammed me out of a year of Mad Magazines I really wish I still had.

>>154826691
Actually, obscenity laws are legal entirely because of Miller v California.
>>
>>154826620
This SHOULDN'T result in a conviction.

>(3) The material lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value; and

It's a published comic book that's been in circulation for years, it clearly has serious artistic and literary value. The only obscene materials convictions I've seen in recent years are shota/loli porn and this probably isn't that.

>>154827560
>>154827137
the american right had wanted to make obscenity laws harsher and ban porn entirely. That may have been aimed more at "actual" porn but stuff like this that has nudity without sexual intercourse will probably get caught in the crossfire.


I haven't read the comic myself, but a news article describes it as such:
https://boundingintocomics.com/comic-books/comic-shop-owner-felony-halloween-grendel
>Having more in common with a Bible tale than a letter to Penthouse, while the issue does not depict any explicitly sexual situations, it does contain multiple instances of uncensored, full frontal male nudity, and one particularly gruesome depiction of the Grendel pack’s butchering upon nude male and female bodies
>>
>>154826620
I'm pretty sure I had that book. It has gore, a character pees on a religious statue, a gnome with a giant penis and a bisexual group sex scene.

Even if she didn't read it before giving it away the cover alone should have tipped her off that it may not be something to hand out.
>>
>>154826620
I'm all for going against heavyhanded obscenity laws, but for fucks sake, I'm so god damned tired of having to defend retards like this who may as well be bad actors. TAKE A FUCKING LOOK AT THE STUFF YOU'RE HANDING OUT TO PRESCHOOLERS, IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD.

So what. There is always worse. I'm telling you I had a dirty feeling after reading that as a teenager. If I were the parent "sorry" wouldn't cut it.

>it doesnt look that disturbing.

It's a bastardized religious portrait. Even as a teen I picked up on that. In general it looks like a vertigo comic which is also not for kids.
>>
>>154826902
That's almost certainly is what happened. It could have been she just removed the ones with bikini covers before buying whole box. She absolutely was unaware that it's possible for things like Grendel to both exist and get mixed into those dollar bins if she was only looking for things with inappropriate covers
>>
>is on the parents to police internet content so kids can't do view it!!

Same people:
>that poor innocent comic book store owner. It's not her fault for not properly vetting a comic book with graphic depictions of mutilation of innocent people before giving it to a 6 year old. How was she suppose to know?!

This case is so dumb. Its like I have have to defend the retard on principle but fucking hell do your fucking job. Would it have really been that hard to flip through the pages before giving it to a child?

Judging it by the cover, she probably thought that it was just a generic story with dark elements that wasn't worse than pg13 stuff. She's an old nerdy woman. The real baby boomers and Gen X grew up with a resentment against their parents for not allowing them to enjoy "satanic" media. So during adulthood they became more liberal. Well a decade ago kids in preschool and elementary school were watching Adventure Time and Regular Show. And even CN years later said that they weren't shows for kids. Do you guys think that the christian parody in that cover was supposed to stop this? Nobody cares about that, let's be real. Just me, stop larping. Everyone hates or doesn't cares about christianism, even children media. Oh wait, most of the outrage would come from evangelists and larpers, so a nothingburger.

On the other hand, she's a nerd. And certainly an old comic book nerd would know what Grendel is, and maybe already read that specific issue.

HOWEVER, I think that she didn't even hand the comic to the kid. It could have been something like
>oh yeah those comics are free, grab whatever you want (she forgot or wasn't aware that it was there)
moments later
>OH GOD JOHNNY WHO GAVE YOU THIS???
>the old woman at that comic book handed it to me
Or the parents added the handed part.

It doesn't matter if its a picture book or not under this law:

>(a) It shall be unlawful for any person 18 years of age or older, firm, or corporation to intentionally disseminate obscenity. A person, firm or corporation disseminates obscenity within the meaning of this Article if he or it:

>(1) Sells, delivers or provides or offers or agrees to sell, deliver or provide any obscene writing, picture, record or other representation or embodiment of the obscene; or

>(2) Presents or directs an obscene play, dance or other performance or participates directly in that portion thereof which makes it obscene; or

>(3) Publishes, exhibits or otherwise makes available anything obscene; or

>(4) Exhibits, presents, rents, sells, delivers or provides; or offers or agrees to exhibit, present, rent or to provide: any obscene still or motion picture, film, filmstrip, or projection slide, or sound recording, sound tape, or sound track, or any matter or material of whatever form which is a representation, embodiment, performance, or publication of the obscene.

I'm a coastal elite liberal and I would vote to convict were I a juror on that case, perhaps begrudgingly.
Nudity is fine and dandy but if she's handing out that comic indiscriminately, that's a clear violation of the law regardless of whether or not I agree with the law itself. Short of nullification, my duty as a juror is to vote according to the evidence and laws. The law is clear and the evidence showed she broke it.

It doesn't violate the miller test though, so it should be legal under current case law

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_test
>Whether "the average person, applying contemporary community standards", would find that the work, taken as a whole, appeals to the prurient interest;
>Whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct or excretory functions specifically defined by applicable state law (the syllabus of the case mentions only sexual conduct, but excretory functions are explicitly mentioned in the majority opinion);
>Whether the work, taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.[

That last bit is very important. The comic has serious literary value.

>(2) The average person applying contemporary community standards relating to the depiction or description of sexual matters would find that the material taken as a whole appeals to the prurient interest in sex; and

>In short, graphic language alone is not enough. The law distinguishes between unprotected obscenity (material that, as a whole, is prurient, patently offensive, and valueless) and protected expression that includes frank or disturbing content within a larger work of recognized value. Ezekiel 23 falls into the latter category as part of the Bible. This is settled constitutional doctrine, not a special religious exemption carved out ad hoc.

Whenever I hear these lines of thought I can only conclude the person making them thinks children aren't exposed enough to adult themes and need to be exposed as much as they can.

I grew up in a Christian family but my parents didn't sit me down and say "Okay, Johnny, today we're going to read about bloody dismemberments and show you images of spicy sexual impropriety" (from the Bible or otherwise).
No one was saying the Grendel book should be banned, but maybe... just maybe... don't hand it out to six-year-olds on Halloween.

It’s not just a pro-genocide story. It was used to persecute gay people and even ban them from getting married as late as the 2000s. In some countries, this dumbass story is still used for that purpose. How can this comic book, which has absolutely no influence, be bad?
>>
>>154830768
Something I've noticed with boomers -- especially if they don't get out much or live in a bubble -- is a lack of awareness about changing norms or thinking the world they grew up in is the same world today's children have.

The Bible has been and continues to be used to justify atrocities. This is a book published in a fringe magazine, and it raises people’s awareness about certain issues. Meanwhile, the Bible is all about reveling in sleeping with young girls and genocide.

Why does obscenity law even exist, doesn't it defeat the whole point of the 1st amendment?
>>
>>154828797
People always do this about the bible but not only is it the foundational work of literature for all of modern Western civilization, it's also monolithic and not something you're going to have your 1st grader just rush through to get all the gory or sexual bits.
It's like saying you can show incest porno to kids because "Well there's femdom incest rape in the bible"

>>154844294

>>
>>154847403
In my opinion yes but I believe the argument is that obscene speech *can* be free in a particular audience but is obscene in another. For example, pornography is not illegal, but there's a moral argument for producing it around or providing it to family spaces where it is still free speech but is contextually inappropriate, and people should have reasonable expectation not to have someone goatse in front of their family at the park.
>>
>>154847403
Defeating the point of the 1st amendment IS the reason obscenity laws exist. No government actually wants their people to have true freedom of speech, just the freedom to express what they consider to be within acceptable parameters, which varies from country to country. The USA has historically done this less than other countries via law, but instead via the threat of imposing laws which cause industries to self-censor their media (the CCA, Hays Code etc) but the FCC still exists as a blunt tool if anyone actually steps out of line.

Americans are funny.
I was brought up on nudity. It's completely natural to me.
>>
I rwmember when I was like 9 or so I was at a Dave & Busters, and one of the prizes was a random issue of Gen13.

Like it wasn't #1 or start of some story arc it was the very middle of the story. And while it didn't show nips or anything there was a sex scene.

Just funny how when it comes to comics people who don't read just will assume stuff and put it out withoutchecking if it even makes sense for a kid to have/want it.

This has nothing to do with nudity you disingenuous faggot.

Good

>>154843824
None of those show genital mutilation, urination or decapitation. Deliverance doesnt even have nudity.
>>
>>154830187
because it has values unlike the grendel comic and 99% doesn't go into the details pointed out by that other fag
i know liberals and dems want stop secretly corrupting and raping kids and doing it in the open now but this isn't a good argument

>>154826620
sounds like that retard that got in trouble for giving out pokemon games and every single one in the team and box was named nigger
good ridance

>>154841408
Berserk is one example.
>>154849554
If decapitation is enough, theres a lot of entertainment that have decapitated people or gore.
>>
>>154849584
Did they actually get in legal trouble for this? Where did this happen?
>>
>>154849587
Be honest have you seen the comic in question?
>>
>>154847403
lol did you think the christfags made up "obscenity" laws because they love free speech
>>154849554
gore has never been taken seriously as obscenity. they only care about sex.
>>
>>154849735
Anon toonami used to censor dragon ball for gore all the time wtf are you talking about? Impalement or decapitation in American media IMMEDIATELY makes something an R rating.

Thats the thing I find absurd. You can’t even post the pages on 4chan without punitive action lol. And yet people are surprised that a parent would find it absurd that their kid was handed it.

Something being banable on 4chan is not sufficient justification on its own for it being prosecutable in real life.

It isn’t prosecutable. Until it’s handed to a minor.

No, you can still be prosecuted for obscenity and it is still a felony if you give it to an adult. Did you actually read the north carolina law?

It seems like that was the case:
>She’s accused of handing out obscene comic books to children at a trunk-or-treat event, and she claims she had no idea about the content of the comics she was passing out.

What do you filter? If your filters are removing important info, then perhaps they aren't very good.

one interesting thing about this case is that most recent obscenity prosecutions have been for stuff like lolicon hentai or similar.

No children are in this comic though and its not sexual.

>>154826620
That's crazy.
