Comic magazines are often perceived as only “for children”, but with their graphic style they attract various authors to convey in this form their works that touch on the spectra of the human essence ... sometimes these are very dirty things. Not all of them are worth reading, but at the intersection of things like sex, blood, and quality, you'll find the best of comics that are clearly not for kids.
In the golden age of comics, many of them strongly touched on violence, the occult, sex, and immorality. Then in 1954 a rule appeared called Comic Code or code of ethics comics... After that, small publications that were engaged in the production of adult literature were forced to go to the so-called underground, which made it more difficult for fans of such reading to find the comics they needed. This phenomenon also contributed to the demise of pornographic comics devoid of any plot. At the same time, there was a growing belief that “acceptable” comics were only those that were about simple superhero stories.
But despite these conditions, some of the best comic book creators took their leaps of faith by releasing X-rated art without rolling (or splashing) into complete mud. In fact, these comics have often become masterpieces.
Note: This kind of literature does not have to have an erotic connotation to be categorized as not for children.
1. Ironwood
Ironwood is not just a story about a mystical forest between the kingdom of goblins and humans. This is what will happen in your pants when you read about the erotic sword and magical love from Bill Willingham.
Now you know exactly what this comic is about, the first part begins with the protagonist giving a blowjob to the centaur, and later the centaur is served by a demon with his endlessly lengthening tongue.
Just some kind of magic!
2. Bomb Queen
New Port City falls under the control of the villainous Bomb Queen after she blows up her rivals, along with her clothes.
More often with her naked virtues than the other way around, she dominates the news, the government, and any man she pleases.
She has a cute cat as her companion. By no means would you think this comic is for kids unless you think the young will benefit from a dose of innuendo and the rest.
3. Black Kiss
Artist Howard Chaikin loved to produce a lot of comic books and was once struck by himself when Blac Kiss came out from under his wing. Violent graphic violence, and especially sex scenes, the magazine sold in huge numbers. When he arrived at the stores, he locked himself in a bag so that no one could watch the comic without paying.
Anyone who has bought this comic has discovered a solid piece of noir filled with lots of ladyboys, bullets, necrophiles, blowjobs, vampires ... yes, hard-boiled vampires.
4. Omaha the Cat Dancer
Of the works about anthropomorphic characters, Omaha the Cat Dancer clearly stands out for its eroticism, which would be a good option to call this comic furry porn. It's also a pretty interesting soap opera.
The main character here is a stripper cat, whose alluring sexuality helps to distract from problems in a corrupt city, mired in its own desire for love / hate.
In each part, there are scenes of sex and nudity, and at the same time, quite elaborate dialogues that move the plot and put everything on the shelves. Don't buy this for kids. You will obviously not be happy if they read a comic where a dog rolls up to a bird.
5. The Invisibles
Grant Morrison claims that most of the plot for the comic was told by aliens when he was abducted from Kathmandu. It's nice to know that aliens enjoy tantric sex and other similar attractions just as earthlings do.
At some point, the characters of the comic are trapped inside the movie "Salo, or 120 Days of Sodom", which is definitely not intended for children.
When the series was rejected, Morrison tried to stage a “marathon” where the comic was supposed to save the energy from the simultaneous masturbation of its readers. It probably worked because it worked. the author was still able to complete the three-volume opus.
6. Invincible
Invincible is a superhero story from writer Robert Kirkman, who also writes the acclaimed The Walking Dead. Due to the fact that the comic is colored, the blood in it is drawn much brighter.
The story revolves around a bloodthirsty race of superhumans from the planet Viltrum. Unlike the friendly Kryptonians from the DC universe, these representatives do not hesitate to tear apart ordinary people (or themselves) with their bare hands.
Of course, there are few sex scenes here, but they are not expressed directly. Basically, blood is shed here in liters.
7. The Rock Cocks
This web comic may not be for everyone, but it's definitely one of the best non-children's magazines out there. His story is about a couple of traveling rockers trying to make money in this crazy world. In addition, for this business, they regularly have to undress.
The adventure can be read for free (so far) on the official website, while the authors raise funds on Patreon to release the comic on a regular basis. The rights to the book are fully owned by the writer Brad Brown and his wife Leslie Brown. They managed to create an indie project containing sex scenes and (possibly) some autobiographical notes about their relationship. It will be interesting to see what else they can squeeze out on crowdfunding funds.
8. Sin City
The narrative thread of the crime comic from Frank Miller begins with the fact that the thug Marv wants to avenge his beloved prostitute named Goldie. She was killed by Kevin - a cannibal with an "angelic voice", if you do not take into account the fact that he is dumb. The guy also has a man-eating wolf and a whole dungeon decorated with the heads of murdered prostitutes.
On his way to his revenge, Marv looks at his beloved stripper, rips off the preacher's head, feeds Kevin his own wolf and then goes to the electric chair ... twice. This is just the beginning and does not bode well.
9. Preacher
In addition to sex, violence and profanity along with other pieces on this list, Preacher brings with it an abundance of blasphemy, and one character is generally called “Assface”.
If you are planning to raise children in the Christian religion, then this book should be on your black list. After all, here the focus is on a preacher endowed with supernatural powers who seeks to hunt down God and teach him a lesson.
10. The Boys
The Boys tells the story of the world's best superteam, the Seven, which is a polished image and gets out of the way from time to time (if they want to). However, in secret, they take drugs, engage in murder and are a real gang of psychopaths.
When the protagonist joins a secret hunting club called the Boys, he learns that superpower and revealing costumes are just the tip of the iceberg.
The genitals are not shown here, but nudity and drugs are intertwined in every incident, culminating in perhaps the episode “Herogasm,” in which the heroes come together for a drug-soaked orgy.
Oh yes, between all the scenes of sex, people are shown torn to pieces and smashing skulls with sledgehammers, which sprinkle with fountains of blood with might and main.
11. From Hell
From Hell is Alan Moore's exploration of the Jack the Ripper murders, and characteristically, it is full of "dirty" drawings passing through the avenue of Victorian sex and crime scenes, looking at which makes you sick.
Since the vivisection of Jack the Ripper's prostitutes was surgical in nature, the book also covers the murder of copycats, in which a filthy shack was adorned with human entrails in every way.
So if you don't want your kids to know how messy it was to buy prostitutes in Victorian England, then you better avoid this book.
12. Heavy Metal
Although it is more of an anthology than a comic book series, Heavy Metal's contribution to the pantheon of debauchery and gore cannot be denied. This collection also contains various prose stories, interviews and pin-up art. In this particular case, it is the American adaptation of the French Metal Hurlant, best known for its sci-fi comics.
From RanXerox's superviolence to Milo Manera's unrepentant erotic feelings, every page of this piece will annoy parents.
13. Lost Girls
When the great Alan Moore took up writing pornography, he saw a near total lack of plot (and quality) in the genre. So he enlisted the support of his future wife (Melinda Gibbe) to help draw erotically charged art for the comic.
The volumes tell about public figures of the early 20th century. Dorothy Gale (OZ), Wendy Darling (Peter Pan) and Alice (the one from Wonderland) meet in a posh European hotel to talk about their sex stories. The author decided to reimagine their famous adventures as explicit sexual escapades.
Don't be fooled when you see characters from children's fairy tales on the cover. Lost Girls is definitely not her, if only because in classic fairy tales, the tin man did not fuck Dorothy.
14. The Filth
The name itself reflects the essence of the comic.
Acquaintance with the protagonist begins with pornography, drug addiction and chronic masturbation. But fortunately, he learns that his features are just a disguise, which the hero did not even know about. He becomes a reckless secret agent to confront a villain with the ability to shoot mutated sperm.
15. The Walking Dead
The lack of nudity and sex in The Walking Dead is more than offset by an abundance of violence and brutality. In each issue of the comic, there are always corpses, obtained in more and more new ways.
There are a lot of things here that are not meant for children. Take, for example, the moment when a newborn baby was blown up by a tank, as well as visual torture, serial rape, and even cutting off the head with a baseball bat.
16. Celluloid
Dave McKean is quite famous for his collaboration with Neil Gaiman on stunning graphic novels. In 2011, he decided to create one erotic novel. But the trick is that the author decided to make a work of this genre really interesting and thoughtful. Celluloid is a story without words, in which the characters walk through the film into a sexual fantasy called the "safe zone" and actually get to it.
Each chapter shows one variation of the sex act, then gradually moves on to a different style. As always, McKean's art uses a kind of drawing, by mixing different genres, which makes the reader wonder how these images were composed and, perhaps, stop masturbating.
If you still want to try this book, then get ready to see a full-page image of a penis. The novel is what it is.
17. Marshal Law
Just don't buy Marshal of the Law for your kids. His so-called “costume” is a converted masochist costume with an inverted cross on the face. He also wears a Nazi SS-style winged hat and has the inscription “Fear and Loathing” on his chest. In general, it looks like he was just kicked out of society for his strange appearance.
The villain from the first act is a crazy violence lover, wearing a trash bag, who is either cosplaying her mother, or she is just her successor by profession (they are both "superheroes").
