Black Kiss is a hardboiled erotic American comic book limited series written and drawn by Howard Chaykin, which was originally published in 1988 by Vortex Comics.
The series' explicit sex scenes and the inclusion of transexual femme fatale Dagmar Laine saw Black Kiss labelled among the most controversial comic series of the late 1980s.[1][2][3] A sequel series, Black Kiss 2, followed in 2012.
