	Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary is a 1972 comic book by Justin Green.
		It was the first long autobiographical work to appear in underground comics, and was extremely personal, detailing Green's childhood struggle with a disorder which in Catholicism is referred to as scrupulosity and was later diagnosed as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
		Binky Brown (the alter ego Green used in all of his autobiographical stories) exhibits compulsive behavior from an early age, but shortly before puberty he begins to develop an elaborate system of obsessions based on the fear that he will contaminate religious sites with his sexual thoughts.

		The Binky Brown Sampler reprints Green's true adventures with the True Church, and explains some of the problems he wrote about in the original 1972 edition.

		Interestingly, it is now known that those demonic bouts with irrational commands that Binky Brown endures are the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain, now known as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), now a treatable condition.
		By the mid 1970's, due to the lack of financial rewards in the underground press, he began working as a commercial sign painter, however a fall from ladder in 1990 lead him back to working as a cartoonist.
		Binky Brown recounts his problems in decoding and assimilating the conflicting demands of puberty, religious fervor, and secret personal rituals but there are laughs a plenty in this tortured tale of teenage turmoil.

		It is not uncommon for the comic artists of such stories to address the reader, whether in an introduction, or later in an interview about the piece, stating that the story is semi-autobiographical.

		Thompson has failed to meet the inherent challenge of creating a total, unified 592-page book.
		It is gripping to watch Justin Green define a particular iconography and then take his dominant graphic device to every extreme as he describes his delusional, phallus-obsessed, compulsive Catholic guilt; it is far less compelling to wade through 592 pages of Thompson's girlfriend drawn as an angel, or hulking, overbearing parents constantly lit from below.
		"Binky Brown" concisely communicates an adolescent experience with a mature graphic intelligence.
