Just curious. Is there anywhere that will allow you to print graphic novels with adult content?

I've been looking at Ka-Blam recently which I know a number of other DD-ers already use.

Since it's not especially relevant to my comic, I haven't been specifically looking into that aspect but here's a quote from their FAQs:
Ka-Blam!
We will not print anything that is illegal, defamatory, or infringes upon the rights of another person or company.

But that’s probably not what you were asking about, is it? You’re probably asking about nudity and sexual content, huh? In that case, the short answer is this — We’ll print ‘R’, but not ‘X’ and certainly not ‘XXX’. It’s not a puritanical thing. Really. It’s based on sound legal advice we received

Heh. So that's a "no" then for Ka-Blam.

From what I can glean from Lulu.com you can do what you like pretty much, but people can "report" content they find objectionable and then a panel decides what to do... Sounds like pot luck to me, but at least it's a chance.

Yeah, forgot about that, Lulu's an option. Drunk Duck artist Dumok has published some of his adult comics at Lulu before (along with this reeeeally lame guide on paganism). You might try contacting him to find out what kind of success he's had with it.

Just get them printed at a print shop, make an online shop with Cubecart or Etsy or something and sell them yourself. All you need to do is put them in the post now and again when you get an order. It's cheaper, you keep more of the profits, and you don't need to worry about the content ratings.
