History Webcomic / AlcatrazHigh

* GreaterScopeVillain: Almost every villain has someone even worse as a higher up. Principal Bok is behind much of the scheming to dispose of or at least reform what he calls “broken cogs” and scam the students into going into debt for useless college degrees, but even he answers to the Super Intendant, who likely answers to someone else even higher.

* AlphaBitch: Britney, head of the Freshman cheerleading squad and of the popular kids clique, proudly describes herself as the type of bully who gives people something they’ll be telling their therapist about in twenty years.

* FlowerInHerHair: Petunia wears her namesake flower behind her ear.

* PreviouslyOn: There is a gag page at the start of Episode 3 claiming that in the previous episode Miles found out he was pregnant and Tim was the father, and portrayed Mike’s fight with Britney as a ''Anime/DragonballZ'' parody.

''Alcatraz High'' is a webcomic written and illustrated by Suren Oganessian also know as Creator/MaskedBard and Tropers/{{Surenity}}. Set in the small town of Martinez in the San Francisco Bay Area between the years 2000 to 2004, ''Alcatraz High'' chronicles the High School years of one Harry Heidelberg and his classmates, as they attend a dystopian prison-like campus. Harry is a normal teen, save for one thing; he has a rare medical condition that makes his head easily detached, however due to extraterrestrial intervention as well as the expert surgical skills of his father, he can return from the dead when his head is reattached. This causes a headache for the Death deities in the afterlife, who have to reset reality and erase everyone’s memory of his death. Predictably, this medical condition just makes him a target for bullying at school, especially by Bully Billy and his mysterious Lackey.

* CerebusRollercoaster: Lampshaded by Wepwawet, when he notes that the story has gone from the amusing antics of awkward teens to a horrific murder by bullying in a short timeframe.

* BulliedIntoDepression: Mike very much was bullied into depression, [[spoiler: to the point of attempting suicide at one point]]. Harry mostly averts it, though not exactly unaffected by the bullying, he maintains his optimism.

* WeirdnessMagnet: Harry attracts all manner of supernatural attention to the school with his infamy in the Spirit Realm.

* GothsHaveItHard: Mike endured some heavy bullying in Middle School, which led to him taking on a goth persona, something feared during and after 1999. He also doesn’t have the best home life, with an absent father and a mentally unstable mother. Ms. Starchild gives him an unofficial diagnosis of severe dysthymia (aka chronic depression) in her notes.

* EldrichAbomination: The Lackey appears to be one, able to warp reality around him, appear at random, and goes largely unnoticed by adults.

* CreepyShadowedUndereyes: Part of Mike’s gothic corpse makeup.
