Cultural References
Mike Diana's legal troubles inspired Busted Jesus Comix, a 2005 off-Broadway play written by David Johnston and directed by Gary Shrader. The play borrows many particulars from the legal case and punishments meted out to Mike Diana, while the character of the comic artist in Busted Jesus and the background story are entirely fictional. The play has been produced on Off-Off-Broadway and in Los Angeles, and has received favorable reviews.
Diana's prosecution was referenced in the graphic novel Teenagers from Mars by Rick Spears and Rob G.
