Brazilian Studio Cancels Contract With DC Comics Artist Over Rape Comments

The impeachment procedures in Brazil has led to all manner of voices being heard on the political scene, including that of some rather far-right wing politicians, who both oppose president Dilma and progressive social movements, such as feminism and  gender identity.

Chiaroscuro Studios, which represented Goldman with the American publishers have, as a result, terminated their arrangement with him, saying  "We decided to terminate the relationship with artists not aligned with values that, for us, are absolutely non-negotiable".

Goldman co-created the series Nox for Space Goat Productions as well as working on Superman, Action Comics, Teen Titans, Countdown and Future's End for DC Comics.
