Brotherman No. 10 published by Big City Comics, Inc. The comic book has 24 pages. The front cover has a colored illustration of a street scene. A crowd of people are standing in a parking lot in front of buildings listening to a man speaking at a podium. In the foreground of the illustration is a woman in an orange floral print dress and a man in a blue vest and pants. The woman has her arms around the man’s shoulders. The man is standing with his left fist raised above his head. In his other hand he is holding a sign that reads “THINK FOR YOURSELF.” The sign is pointed towards the ground. A bust of a man in a red fedora and jacket, and a polka dot necktie is in the background above the buildings and crowd of people. He is viewed from the chest up and is smoking a cigar. Printed in white and black ink at the top of the page is “THE ORIGIN OF / BROTHER / MAN / DICTATOR OF DISCIPLINE.” In the top left corner is Big City Comics logo.
