Sexcapades

Sexcapades, a long-running series from Fantagraphics launched in 1996, explores the playful, awkward, and often surreal side of human intimacy through a series of standalone comic vignettes. Over nine issues, the anthology showcases a rotating cast of alternative cartoonists, with the series most closely associated with its creator and primary artist, who blends a warm, observational humor with a frank, non-judgmental eye for the absurdities of desire and connection. Its matter-of-fact, often tender approach to adult themes helped carve out a space for mature, non-exploitative explorations of sexuality in independent comics.
