BUTCH #1 (ONE SHOT) A HATE COMIC (MR)

Butch #1 is a one-shot in Peter Bagge's Hate universe, picking up where 2024's Hate Revisited left off. The story centers on Butch, Buddy Bradley's younger— and even more unpredictable— brother, who finds himself facing possible prison time after an incident on his nephew's rural property. As far-right media seize on the controversy and an invitation lands him at Ameri-Con, Butch embarks on a journey toward an unexpected spiritual awakening. Bagge delivers his signature biting wit, kinetic linework, and sharp social critique in a compact 24-page format, balancing satire with empathy as it probes fame, fanaticism, and personal reckoning. This standalone entry expands the Hate saga while remaining accessible to new readers, showcasing the creator's deft blend of humor, politics, and pathos without pulling punches.
