S&M University

In 2001 and 2002, Fantagraphics published the six-issue series S&M University, a surreal and provocative exploration of a bizarre academic institution. Created primarily by artist Nariaki Funabori, the comic blends dark humor, fetishistic imagery, and absurdist campus satire into a uniquely unsettling vision. Its brief run stands as a cult artifact of early-2000s alternative comics, showcasing Funabori’s distinctive, boundary-pushing style.
