SPICE RACK COMICS LAUNCHES TO BOOST NSFW COMICS CREATORS THROUGH COLLABORATION AND CROSS-PROMOTION

[December 2, 2024] – In a groundbreaking effort to support NSFW comics creators navigating the challenges of adult content publishing, veteran cartoonist Brad Guigar has announced the launch of Spice Rack Comics—a banner exchange webring designed to foster cross-promotion among some of the top talents in the genre.

Spice Rack Comics unites creators specializing in adult comics under a shared mission: to amplify one another’s work and overcome the unique barriers of censorship, content moderation, and discoverability plaguing NSFW content.

Participating titles include:

A Collective Solution to Industry Challenges

In addition to traditional banner exchanges, Spice Rack Comics creators will leverage social media, public appearances, and other opportunities to promote the group. This unique combination of digital and real-world promotion aims to help creators thrive in a field that often marginalizes adult content.

“Publishing NSFW comics is an uphill battle,” says Brad Guigar, founder of Spice Rack Comics and creator of Evil Inc After Dark. “Platforms crackdown on adult content, advertisers are squeamish, and creators face roadblocks that others in comics simply don’t. Spice Rack Comics is here to change that by working together to lift each other up.”

A Showcase of Talent

The alliance brings together a wide variety of styles and storytelling approaches, from the fantasy-laden escapades of The Cummoner to the spy-thriller antics of Spying with Lana, to the queer-focused erotica of Filthy Figments. Together, these creators represent some of the most dynamic voices in adult comics.

“With this network, we’re creating a space where adult comics aren’t just tolerated—they’re celebrated,” says Guigar. “We want to help readers discover the breadth of incredible work in this genre.”

Collaboration from the Very Start

The spirit of collaboration that defines Spice Rack Comics was evident in the collective effort it took to bring this initiative to life. Tom Roberts spearheaded the construction of the Spice Rack Comics website, while Garth Graham designed the logo and contributed significantly to the site’s visual identity. Nero Villagallos O’Reilly provided additional website enhancements. Jaycee Knight coordinated the project, keeping the team organized and on schedule, and Matt Sowers developed a custom dashboard and the backend code that powers the webring’s functionality. Together, their contributions reflect the shared commitment to building a platform that supports the success of NSFW comics creators.
