Eric Stanton's Tops & Bottoms

In the late 1990s, Fantagraphics collected the boundary-pushing work of fetish artist Eric Stanton into this four-issue series, Tops & Bottoms. A showcase of his signature, mid-century style, the comics explore themes of dominance and submission with a playful, often surreal energy. Stanton, the sole creator across the run, brought his distinctive linework and provocative storytelling from underground magazines to a wider audience. This series stands as a key document of an influential figure in alternative comics and erotic art.
