The New Bondage Fairies

In the late 1990s, Fantagraphics published The New Bondage Fairies, a 16-issue series that reimagined the classic erotic fairy trope with a darkly humorous, often grotesque edge. Known for its unapologetically adult content and surreal, fetish-infused artwork, the series was a cult favorite among fans of underground and alternative comics. It stands as a bold, boundary-pushing artifact of its era, showcasing the publisher’s willingness to explore niche, provocative material.
