Dark Spark Press is back, and we’re starting 2026 off hot with a brand-new comic anthology to tempt and titillate! ‘Leather & Lace’ features new comics by creators skilled in eroticism, each taking an up-close and personal look at the delicate and dark impulses which lie at the heart of desire. Printed entirely in riso with light lime and black, this anthology will have you buzzing.
Pre-orders are open NOW at the link in bio!
In the next weeks, you’ll meet the artists behind the anthology, sneak a peek at comic previews, and peep the treats we have just for preorder readers. In the meantime, you can find a link to secure your copy in our bio. 💚

Dark Spark Press wishes you a happy holiday season! A Christmas miracle is upon us—reprints of 2023’s CYBER LEWDS have finally hit our shop! Additionally, we have put up holiday bundles of EVERY book in the ‘Lewds’ series thus far for a total discount of $10. These bundles make a great gift for the DSP-uninitiated loved one who needs some extra heat during the cold wintery months ;-) Supplies of these bundles are VERY limited, so don’t delay if you’re thinking of picking one up. Visit the link in our bio to find them!
**Make sure you place any orders at our shop by 12/16 for delivery by Christmas!**
Finally, we know we made you wait, but pre-orders for Leather & Lace open in January! We are so excited for you to see what our artists have made for you! This book promises to be our sleekest to-date. Keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks for features and comic previews, and thanks for your patience.
We at Dark Spark Press have been so humbled by the love we’ve received from the comics community this year—we’ve loved seeing your faces across the country and hearing what our anthologies mean to you. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. See you for more erotic enrichment in 2026.
xoxo Kelsey & Bets

🐌🐌 🤠 🐌🐌 My spread in the collaborative LTHRWRK Zine put together by @tncts over the summer! I love how it turned out and im so glad I didn't talk myself out of giant snail westerns. Printed in black and bright red!
First ever legit sale now live in my shop! Great opportunity to get someone you know a cool and unique gift- or if you have ever wanted to get something from me but needed the right motivation 😻😻 Sale ends Dec 12th and I will have all cat prints plus a whole lot more at the Holiday market hosted by Dave's Lesbian Bar on Dec 13th
Baby's first process video. I made a repeat pattern with more bugs. Im not sure what ill do with it yet but maybe some zipper pouches or something? I rarely ever use procreate but this time-lapse feature is kind of fun.

Last one! Bringing back a favorite! Would be very cool to see this one as a throw blanket in particular- I love textiles! #slowdownartcomp2025 competition held by @slowdownstudio
