Two New Comic Releases Face Sexuality Head On

Today is a pretty big day for socially-and-sexually relevant comic books.

Topless in Toronto

Ladies Henna Night Feb 3!

How To Tell a True Porn Story

One of the lessons I’m going to give you in my writing talk tomorrow is a simple and important one: sit your ass in the chair and write.

Big Ups, Mad Props and Sincere Thank-You’s

by David Wraith SEX+STL started in late 2010, so 2011 represents our first full calendar year of existence.
