Lust: Kinky Online Personal Ads

In Lust: Kinky Online Personal Ads, artist Ellen Forney adapts actual personal ads from the early internet era into a single, standalone comic published by Fantagraphics in 2008. The book translates the raw, often humorous confessions of anonymous online postings into expressive, hand-drawn vignettes, offering a candid snapshot of desire and identity in the digital age. Forney’s distinctive linework and empathetic eye turn these fleeting messages into a lasting, intimate document of human connection.
