Beginning in late 2020, news outlets began to report a terrifying new crimewave sweeping the United States. “Organized Retail Crime” was devastating communities and forcing retailers to close stores and lay off workers. Except this crimewave never happened…
Using the actual words of corporate retail executives, media outlets, and politicians, MONSTER CRIME traces the spread of this manufactured, fear-based narrative and presents it in the style of 1950s monster comics. Damm ultimately asks the reader to consider who profits from our fears and where the true horror lies.
