(#13) The Filth
It's right there in the title. The protagonist of Grant Morrison's The Filth starts out as someone who can't stop watching other people get it on. Luckily, he learns that his personality is a disguise he didn't even know he was wearing. He becomes an awesome secret agent, but then has to face off against a strange villain.
This is an interesting one for sure, but definitely not safe for little ones.

(#16) Marshal Law
- Kevin O'Neill
There's no way you're buying Marshal Law for your kids. The hero's "costume" is a modified racy playsuit with a zippered face mask decorated by an upside-down cross. He also wears chaps and a winged hat in the style of the WWII German soldiers, has "Fear and Loathing" emblazoned on his chest plate, and generally just seems too weird.
The villain of the first arc is a garbage bag-wearing lunatic fond of harming women in some of the worst ways imaginable.

(#15) Métal Hurlant
It's more of an anthology than a comic series, yet Heavy Metal's contribution to the pantheon of adult content cannot go unrecognized. Though it also includes prose stories, interviews, and pinup art, the American adaptation of France's Metal Hurlant was best known for its science fiction and fantasy comics.
From the hyperviolence of RanXerox to the unrepentant sensuality of Milo Manera, every page of Heavy Metal was (and is) full of things for parents to find objectionable.

(#8) The Boys
- Garth Ennis, Darick Robertson
In The Boys, the world's top superteam, the Seven, present a polished public image and save the day (when they feel like it). Behind closed doors, however, they're struggling with substances and committing a myriad of various offenses. When the protagonist, Wee Hughie, joins the secret hero-hunting club called The Boys, he learns that the superpowers and revealing costumes are just the tip of the iceberg.
Private parts aren't shown, but substance use, gore, and plenty of skin (of superheroic proportions) pepper every issue.

(#5) Omaha the Cat Dancer
Omaha the Cat Dancer is an explicit comic set in a world of anthropomorphic characters. It's also a gripping soap opera. The titular (pun intended) character is a bipedal feline dancer whose entrancing sensuality makes her a lightning rod for controversy.
There are highly detailed acts and people in the buff in every issue to the point that expository dialogue is sometimes wedged in to keep the story moving. Don't buy this for your kids unless you're okay with them finding out what it looks like when two animals do the deed.

(#7) The Rock C*cks
Not to go all hipster on you, but one of the best comics that isn’t for kids is a webcomic called The Rock C*cks, and it follows a pair of touring rock 'n' rollers while they try to make a buck in this wild world. Also, they get down to their birthday suits on the regular.
The adventure is up on the official site, and a Patreon campaign is running to raise funds. With a husband (writer Brad Brown) and wife (artist Leslie Brown) team in full ownership of the book, it’s got an indie heart, authentic scenes, and (probably) a few autobiographical notes about artistic relationships. It will be interesting to see if something so risque (yet rockin') can survive on crowdfunding.
