AMA: Recommending NSFW comics

Q.: What NSFW/adult comics do you recommend reading? Which ones do you draw inspiration from?

A.: This is a fantastic question! Many of the comics that were offered as bonus rewards represent some of my favorites, but here's a list of some of the comics that you might enjoy...

(After you read this, check back later... I'm hoping some patrons will help fill out the list, and I'm bound to come back and add some that I've forgotten!)

XXXenophile: Phil Foglio's XXXenophile, for me, is the Platinum Standard against which I try to measure Evil Inc After Dark. It's sci-fi erotica that brings a joyfulness to sex that I find really, really appealing. When I was struggling with the decision of committing to nsfw comics, I had a long talk with Phil, and he assuaged my fears and encouraged me to go forward. In many ways, Phil is a big reason I'm here.

Botcomics: Botcomics' adult section includes a focus on breast expansion, giantess and bimboification. Of the three, the breast-expansion stuff had me decide to become a subscriber for a year. The art is fantastic, but some of the storytelling can be a little flat (no pun intended).

Filthy Figments: I became aware of Filthy Figments through a webcomics friend, Gina Biggs. I was a Kickstarter backer for their most recent anthology, Score, and I think there's a lot of work over there that's super hot.

Spinnerette: The art and the storytelling in Spinnerette are top notch, and if you have a thing for super-powered sex, I think you're going to like it a lot.

Not So Long Stories: I discovered Not So Long Stories recently, and I'd love to get them to do a content trade soon. (The only problem is I don't think they do Patreon exclusives.) I looooove the art, and it's wonderfully imaginative.

Dmitry's Futa: Not for the faint-of-heart, Dmitry Sergeev's work is very fetishy — specializing in futanari. But the guy can draw his butt off, and I keep him on my radar as a reminder of how far I have to go as an artist.

The work of InCase — particularly his Alfie series — is kept in view for the same reason. Spellbinding art and no-limits storytelling.

Non-comics erotica

Circlet Press: I was so excited to find out that there was a publisher of erotica that focused on sci-fi. Circlet Press has some really great stuff, including Like A Mask Removed, an anthology of superhero erotica that's available as a bonus reward.

Nobilis Erotica: I discovered Circlet Press through the Nobilis Reed podcast, Nobilis Erotica, which has a similar sci-fi focus. Their podcast is a staple for background listening while I'm inking Evil Inc After Dark.

The Classic Pin-Up Art of Jack Cole.  Along with creating my all-time favorite superhero, Plastic Man, Jack Cole was a wonderful single-panel cartoonist whose work appeared regularly in Playboy. When I draw Courting Disaster, this is the mark I'm aiming for.

The Art of Doug Sneyd. While we're talking about Playboy cartoonists, we can't forget Sneyd, whose style, for me, is definitive of the genre.

Speaking of cartoonists who hold a special place in my heart, The Erotic Art of Wallace Wood, is scheduled to be released in March, and I've already added it to my Amazon Wish List for my wife to stumble upon.

When I decided to make Courting Disaster an adults-only feature (it was originally made for newspapers), I got The Pin-Up Art of Humorama for inspiration. It sits on the bookshelf next to The Monster Girls Encyclopedia Vol. 1 and Spunky Knight.

I also own the first four volumes of Empowered by Adam Warren. Adam has been re-releasing Empowered as a webcomic, starting from Page 1 / Vol. 1. He's currently midway through volume five.

And, although it's strictly PG-13, The Sequential Art of Amanda Conner makes my heart race.
