About the series
Matt Fraction and Chip Zdarsky's Sex Criminals (2014–2020, Image) is a wonderfully weird and heartfelt series that asks: what if, when you orgasmed, time literally stopped? This premise launches a story about a couple who meet, discover they share this unique "power," and decide to use it to rob the bank threatening their local library. Over its 69-issue run, Fraction's sharp, funny writing and Zdarsky's expressive, vibrant art blend raunchy comedy with genuine emotional depth, exploring relationships, mental health, and the absurdity of adult life. A landmark of creator-owned comics, it's a bold, unapologetically adult series that redefined what a sex-positive superhero story could be.
