20!!Other
21* ''ComicBook/OneHundredBullets'' has Megan Dietrich, a young AlphaBitch CorruptCorporateExecutive with an absolutely enormous chest [[WorldOfBuxom even for this series]]. Her favorite outfits include sexy cocktail dresses and [[BarelyThereSwimwear bikinis that are much too small for her]]. She is, interestingly enough, used for FanDisservice scenes as well; we get to watch her have sex with a man old enough to be her father and her [[spoiler: death scene]], in which she's wearing a midriff-bearing number, is undercut by the fact that [[spoiler: she's so terrified of the crazed hitman staring her down that she wets herself]]. The female protagonist, Dizzy Cordova, also has a [[HartmanHips womanly rear end]] that the panels highlight often.
22* ''ComicBook/TwoThousandAD'':
23** ''ComicBook/AndersonPsiDivision'': For the most part, Anderson in ''Judge Dredd'' doesn't provide much fanservice other than being hot in general. Her own spinoff, however, is a different story. In the first collected volume alone, she spends half a story naked in a coma (she is mostly covered by a sheet, but still), has another judge [[ShowerOfAwkward walk in on her in a shower]], and goes clubbing in a low-cut, tight minidress.
24** Durham Red in ''ComicBook/StrontiumDog'' generally wears a low-cut uniform and stands in a manner that emphasizes her legs. In her own series she's even more {{Stripperiffic}}. Her character also plays up the VampiresAreSexGods angle, despite actually being a mutant who happens to feed on blood.
25** Cythea in ''ComicBook/{{Necrophim}}'', a beautiful succubus who never wears any clothes.
26* ''ComicBook/{{Arawn}}'' had Siahm, a gorgeous [[MysticalWhiteHair white-haired]] ActionGirl prone to lots of [[MaleGaze attention]] and being depicted semi-nude most of the time. Hell, even when she is [[SpyCatsuit fully covered]], [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/siahm.jpg her curves are in full display]]. Its particularly impressive that she retains the same youthful and voluptuous figure not only after giving birth to ''four children'', but when they reach adulthood themselves, though there is a [[SupernaturallyYoungParent supernatural reason for this]].
27* ''ComicBook/ArchieComics'':
28** Veronica. It's pretty much a given that she'll be wearing the most-revealing outfit of any given strip, especially the beach-themed ones. Sometimes she's even been arrested for wearing "indecent" bikinis on public beaches- and the artists show it!
29** Cheryl Blossom defined this in the 1980s (where it got her written out of the books) and '90s. Dan [=DeCarlo=] gave her a Pamela Anderson clone body, with [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure even larger breasts and buttocks]] than was normal for Riverdale girls, and was frequently seen in skimpier clothes than all the others. In one beach storyline, she tried to go ''topless''.
30** Melody was this for ''ComicBook/JosieAndThePussycats'', wearing the skimpiest outfits and drawing all the male attention. She is so beautiful that almost any man who sees her gets DistractedByTheSexy and suffers AmusingInjuries.
31* ComicBook/{{Ant}} is a [[ImpossibleHourglassFigure extremely curvaceous]] StatuesqueStunner wearing a ''really tight'' exoskeleton suit resembling an ant.
32* Due to ArtEvolution in ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'', a significant portion of the comic (Issue 60s-180s) turned the resident heroines Bunnie Rabbot and Sally Acorn [[HumanoidFemaleAnimal much more humanoid]]. The former wears bunny outfit's top, the latter is next to being literally [[WalkingShirtlessScene fur-naked]]. While it was toned down post-180s, it was pretty much rendered null after the ContinuityReboot.
33* Red Monika from ''ComicBook/{{Battlechasers}}''. Huge boobs, ridiculous figure, big red hair and {{stripperiffic}} outfits? She's pure Ms. Fanservice.
34* ''ComicBook/BazookaJules'' somewhat overdeveloped the MostCommonSuperpower as part of her power set. This was eventually revealed to be a subconscious choice by the protagonist, who thought superheroes should look that way, and she eventually got her assets back down to a manageable level.
35* Hellaynnea in ''ComicBook/BlackMoonChronicles'' was a [[SuccubiAndIncubi succubus]] who served as love interest to the main protagonist and was rather... [[ReallyGetsAround extrovertive]].
36* Panda Delgado from ''ComicBook/BodyBags''. She's only 14, but she sports a serious pair of breasts and wears a super-short cheerleader skirt and skintight sweater set. The skirt is so short the reader gets panty shots when she's standing still.
37* Thorn from ''ComicBook/{{Bone}}'', not so much in early chapters, though. In later chapters, you get to see her bare legs quite a bit, and almost a little boobage due to ClothingDamage. There's even a gag (that actually ''is'' in an early chapter) where Fone Bone is nervous enough to accidentally eat a bar of soap because he's taking a bath with Thorn. (And before that, he watches a bird that seems to be there for the sole purpose of averting Fone's gaze away from Thorn while she's getting nude, before she goes into the water.) [[LoveAtFirstSight Needless to say, Fone Bone takes an instant liking to her.]]
38* Parodied and subverted in ''ComicBook/TheBoys'' where all the superheroines working for Vought American are turned into Ms. Fanservice as part of their image for merchandising. Takes a considerably darker turn when VA give Starlight a makeover consisting of high heels and a costume composed of about three grams of fabric due to them wanting her character to have been [[RapeAsBackstory raped as a child]] and turn into a sex-crazed slut as a result. It doesn't go down well with her, especially when she reveals she was indeed sexually assaulted.
39* ''ComicBook/{{Cavewoman}}'': is a NubileSavage with a curvaceous and voluptuous figure who's only article of clothing is a loincloth and {{fur bikini}}.
40* La Mulatona from ''Clemente''. Including when they show Clemente swimming between her breasts (a common scene in macrophile porn) as a running gag.
41* ''ComicBook/{{Crimson}}'': The hero's love interest Scarlet X is a [[EveryoneLooksSexierIfFrench French]] redheaded ActionGirl who wears [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scarlet_x.jpg a rather skimpy combat suit]] for a [[NaughtyNuns member from a holy order]]. There is a moment when she is visited by two vampires in her apartment she is wearing only a ModestyTowel. During the struggle, she [[StrippingSnag loses the towel]] and gets completely nude before the two, albeit [[SceneryCensor with one of their bodies covering her from the reader's view]] and they certainly appreciate what he sees.
42* ''ComicBook/DangerGirl'': has no shortage of them. The fact it's drawn by Creator/JScottCampbell of ComicBook/Gen13 fame doesn't help.
43%%* ''ComicBook/{{Darkchylde}}'' pretty much ran on this trope.
44* ''ComicBook/TheDarkness'':
45** The Angelus, ComicBook/TheDarkness' ArchEnemy and [[LightIsNotGood embodiment of light]] always manifests herself as a vaguely AngelicBeauty in {{Stripperiffic}} outfits. Any woman possessed by it also becomes this trope incidentally, such as [[http://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_small/1/15776/649300-lauren.jpg the old and withered Lauren Franchetti]] was rejuvenated into [[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcROqSGA3JUEY1DtgHxFviIeNhuaiHPi3DUU65YTlRaion0uie-Z a hot bombshell in a gold bikini armor]]. though more recent hosts such as Finch and Danielle Baptiste have downplayed this trope, favoring fully-armored looks.
46** The female Angelus warriors also qualify, as they tend to assume very beautiful and {{Stripperiffic}} guises in human form and even their "angel forms" are [[http://static3.comicvine.com/uploads/original/0/7884/611960-angelus_warrior_female.jpg fairly voluptuous]]. Justified, since their [[LesYay mistress prefers women]] and uses them for [[GirlOnGirlIsHot sexual gratification outside of battle]] and occasionally [[HoneyTrap to seduce and spy her enemies]].
47** Invoked by the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/concubines.jpg Darkling concubines]] that serve this purpose InUniverse to their wielders since they CantHaveSexEver with normal women and risking impregnation which would result in losing their lives and passing their powers to their offspring.
48* In the ''ComicBook/{{Den}}'' comics, any woman from Earth arriving in Neverwhere becomes this; buck naked, buxom and liking it.
49* From some Disney Italia comics:
50** Lyla Lay from ''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' (reboot and sequel included), a beautiful droid designed to look like an anthropomorphic duck. She's clearly drawn to be [[SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism more humanoid]] than the usual FunnyAnimal Disney duck, with a much taller frame, human hips and [[NonMammalianMammaries breasts]].
51** From the sequel ''Pk 2'' the two villainesses, the Ducklair sisters: Korinna and Juniper. Korinna wardrobe mostly consists of skintight jumpsuits, and she spends quite a bit of her time only half clothed, and the few times she wears a full set of clothes, the artist go out of their way to show she's wearing a thong.
52** Birgit Q in the reboot ''Pikappa''. The back-up story of #17 is practically an excuse to see fanservice shots of her.
53** The spy Kay K from ''ComicBook/DoubleDuck''. She is a really attractive anthropomorphic duck with an ImpossibleHourglassFigure. Many of her outfits show off her [[NonMammalMammaries cleavage]]. In few issue she also appears in bikini.
54* ''ComicBook/{{Druuna}}'', from the Italian graphic novel series of the same name, is an idealized dark-haired Mediterranean woman with a curvy body who is either naked or wearing a skimpy tank-top-and-thong combo roughly ninety percent of the time. The highly detailed renderings drawn by her creator have been widely distributed as pin-ups.
55* ''ComicBook/DungeonsAndDragonsFellsFive'': Tisha Swornheart is a beautiful redheaded [[HotAsHell Tiefling]] Warlock with a very revealing outfit and notably more sexualized appearance than the majority of characters. She also features in multiple pin-ups in the bck of the book.
56* ComicBook/{{Empowered}} herself is arguably a deconstruction of this trope, being a FauxActionGirl whose suit [[VaporWear tends to rip up at the worst possible moment]] and [[BoundAndGagged being tied up and gagged]], and thus the center of many people's attention left her in a neurotic mess of self-esteem and body-image issues, and yes -- she does provide most of the fanservice in the series, and [[MetaGuy is fully aware of that, making her an even bigger neurotic mess]]. Ocelotina on the other hand intentionally plays to this trope, pretending to be a superheroine and getting into the same situations Emp does for profit. And of course Ninjette.
57* Most of Dr. Love's appearances in ''ComicBook/FrankMillersRoboCop'' have her wearing various tight, cleavage-revealing outfits while doing provocative positions. Her assistant pulls off the same thing in the background at one point. Lewis also undergoes this.
58* Gaturranta in the very first strips of ''Gaturro''.
59* The three female leads in ''ComicBook/Gen13''. The entire comic is made of {{Fanservice}} with the girls in skimpy costumes, sometimes half-naked or in lingerie and often subject of MaleGaze.
60** Caitlin Fairchild is a [[StatuesqueStunner tall]] and [[AmazonianBeauty muscular]] redhead with a tendency to get her [[ClothingDamage clothes destroyed]] much to [[ReluctantFanserviceGirl chagrin]]. One bootleg story is [[BestKnownForTheFanservice remembered]] for her being knocked out by the villain who [[UndressingTheUnconscious undresses her]] and put's her into a GoGoEnslavement outfit she wears for the rest of the story.
61** Sarah Rainmaker is a stunning raven-haired beauty that's very proud of her body and [[ShamelessFanserviceGirl doesn't mind showing it off]], customarily [[HomeNudist strutting around the house in the buff or in her underwear]]. The very first issue has a scene with her SkinnyDipping and doing a SexySurfacingShot right in front of the boys, covered only by SceneryCensor and showing ToplessnessFromTheBack and {{Sideboob}}.
62** Roxy is a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak with a punk look, and while she doesn't have the [[BuxomBeautyStandard figure of the other two girls]], she usually provides {{fanservice}} by wearing many FanserviceCostumes.
63* ComicBook/HackSlash: Cassie Hack. Good luck finding a pic of her where she isn't depicted in a sexy pose and/or wearing very {{Stripperiffic}} clothing. She’s regularly called attractive InUniverse, too.
64* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'':
65** Atom Eve is a very curvaceous redhead and LoveInterest-now wife of the protagonist, Eve also ends up naked a lot (with only a ModestyBedsheet to [[https://majorspoilers.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12a/imagecomics121108/invincible56/invincible56_p1.jpg cover]] [[https://2.bp.blogspot.com/rNWfUNITeNBUNui1S3eqVNbMuPYx7hh_RpDsJG8NLTf8Jsfp5VlEHJv30npSy5V4gDPT9N756nUT=s0 up]]) and she also once remade her body using her powers and [[BuxomBeautyStandard made her breasts even bigger]]. Eve also became a BigBeautifulWoman for a time, then a PregnantBadass and even lost her leg but throughout remained attractive.
66** Telia Allen the Alien's girlfriend is a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe blue-skinned space babe]] who barely wears anything and is very sexual every time she appears.
67** Monster Girl is [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/97/b1/83/97b183f3431fda5956b1cbb6c14f8bd7.jpg extremely hot]] unfortunately her [[HulkingOut superpower]] makes her [[PowerUpgradingDeformation much less so]].
68* ''ComicBook/JawbreakersLostSouls'': Xaxi, an extremely buxom and beautiful woman who is never seen wearing more than a few thin strips of cloth and some jewelry. Her sexiness is even a minor plot point and [[spoiler:when she was unceremoniously killed off by the BigBad a lot of the fans were pissed.]]
69%%* Irish Coffee's stripper girlfriend.
70* The British wartime newspaper comic ''Jane'' featured a title character who was always willing to help the war effort--which usually involved losing her clothes in some way. In RealLife, it was claimed that this actually helped boost troop morale. This may have been the first newspaper strip ever to include ''complete nudity'', and was seen as unbelievably daring at the time.
71** There were rumours that when she appeared completely starkers it would be D-Day. Sir UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill personally intervened on the matter to make it so.
72* In ''Franchise/KingKong'''s Don Simpson "Monster Comics" adaptation, unlike her film counterpart who only gets part of her [[ClothingDamage dress ripped off]], Kong rips off all of Ann's dress, leaving Ann in her underwear for two issues.
73* ComicBook/LadyDeath is extremely voluptuous and wore a ChainmailBikini with black opera gloves and CombatStilettos that only enhanced her outstanding figure. She was originally written with [[FemmeFatale a very seductive personality]].
74* Cixi in ComicBook/{{Lanfeust}}. Besides her name rhyming with "sexy", she always wears {{Stripperiffic}} red clothes and isn't shy with nudity.
75* Near every woman in ''ComicBook/LePetitSpirou'', from Spirou's mother to the teachers. Especially Miss Claudia Chiffre, a buxom meganekko with a tendency to wear miniskirts. All the male students (and some of the teachers), especially Spirou, are in love with her.
76* ''Little Ego''. Ego exists solely to lose her clothes and get caught in erotic situations.
77* ComicBook/LoriLovecraft is an actress who relies primarily on her looks to get parts. Every story involves copious {{Lingerie Scene}}s, and usually at least one full frontal nude scene.
78* ComicBook/PhantomLady has been frequently called this, even in the real world US Congress. Her appearance was always fanservice but her classic stories all tended to de-emphasize it.
79* Toola from ''ComicBook/PocketGod''. Booga and Klak went gaga over her at first sight. In fact, the creators of the comic admitted that she was designed as "the hottie".
80* Deena Pilgrim from ''ComicBook/{{Powers}}''. Putting aside her proclivity for wearing what she calls "little belly shirts", it's rare for her to go more than five issues without being shown either topless or completely nude. Also Callista Secor, a.k.a. [[spoiler: the new Retro Girl]], who wears tight shorts and a halter top as part of her costume. However, when she realizes what she looks like on TV (after her first escapade is taped), she's not happy.
81-->'''Callista:''' God! You can totally see my asscrack! Now they're zooming in on it! Fuckers.
82* ''ComicBook/QueenAndCountry'': Tara is drawn as attractive, and shown topless while having sex with a man in ''Operation: Saddlebag'' over a full page (but not explicitly), then as she showers at the end as well.
83* Bonnie Black in ''ComicBook/{{Reborn}}'' wears a white SpyCatsuit that covers her entire figure, but it [[FormFittingWardrobe still hugs it very tightly]]. She is also subject to tons of MaleGaze in the covers and action sequences.
84* Comicbook/RedSonja, who wore nothing but a ChainmailBikini into battle. Justified because her fighting style relied on DistractedByTheSexy.
85* ''ComicBook/RequiemVampireKnight'':
86** [[LesbianVampire Claudia Demona]] is a pretty over-the-top example, being DressedLikeADominatrix and with a very fitting seductive and domineering attitude. She also dons a ChainmailBikini to fight in a tournament against Dystopian knights.
87** [[CuteGhostGirl Rebecca]] also qualifies, being a girl covered in bandages who occasionally gets ([[ReluctantFanserviceGirl reluctantly]]) stuffed into some fetishized outfit, and almost all of her appearances throughout the series feature her almost or outright nude - and it helps she is very prominent. Her beauty is [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Claudia above, who comments she is pretty enough to become Dracula's bride and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer tries to claim her for herself]].
88** UsefulNotes/ElizabethBathory may be the biggest example in the comic, since all she wears is a cape and boots and ''nothing else''. It's also notable that she is one of the few vampires that lacks the body markings/tattoos that makes most of their kind fearsome to look at.
89* Wally Wood's ''ComicStrip/{{Sally Forth|Wood}}'', done originally for military papers, used any excuse to get the [[InnocentFanserviceGirl buxom but naïve]] titular character out of her clothes. Not to be confused with the present-day strip of this name, which is about a fully clothed housewife.
90* While ''ComicBook/ScottPilgrim'' features many attractive women, Envy Adams is noted in Volume 6 to be "[[InformedAttractiveness the perfect woman]]," with the proclamation being accompanied by her measurements: Bust 999, Waist 999, Hips 999.
91* ''ComicBook/SheenaQueenOfTheJungle'':
92** Sheena, the titular character - A NubileSavage in very skimpy clothing with a very curvaceous body.
93** Ramona also gets a lot of this kind of attention, and scenes of her in lingerie.
94* Angela in ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}'' was supposedly conceived as eye-candy, wearing a ChainmailBikini into combat. Her [[ComicBook/{{Angela|AsgardsAssassin}} Marvel counterpart]] downplays this trope considerably in the other hand, as she initially sported a similar design, but has since covered up as time went along.
95* ''ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy'': Darth Talon is a [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Twi'lek]] Sith Lord who runs around in thigh-high boots and a metal bikini.
96* ''ComicBook/{{Superlopez}}'': Actress Valerie Astro from ''La gran superproducción''. Apparently she gets typecast in roles that require her to show her body and she's grown used to it, to the point that she actually finds having to act dressed insulting.
97* ''ComicBook/TarotWitchOfTheBlackRose'': Literally any female character qualifies, but the main heroine is the primary one, with her outfit being pretty much described as [[{{Stripperiffic}} "two strings and a wish"]].
98* Laureline in ''ComicBook/{{Valerian}}'' tends to wear very revealing outfits in some adventures, such as in ''Land Without Stars'' where she joins a {{royal harem}} and [[GoGoEnslavement wears a bikini]] that is attributed to have inspired [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi Princess Leia's slave outfit]].
99* ComicBook/{{Vampirella}} is almost always scantily clad in her signature red sling suit, complete with a NavelDeepNeckline, with a white collar and wearing shiny black knee-high boots. Since she's constantly getting into fights with other monsters and is also a ShamelessFanserviceGirl, readers are treated to every inch of her body. Other female characters such as her mother Lilith and the Blood Red Queen of Hearts were no slouches themselves.
100* In ''ComicBook/WarlordOfMars'', most [[http://static.comicvine.com/uploads/scale_super/11124/111243883/4854226-hot.jpg female]] [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/p15_17.jpg Martians]] are [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe hot alien babes of many exotic colors]] [[DiamondsInTheBuff adorned in jewelry and gold ornaments]] and [[{{Stripperiffic}} little else]], but [[https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-phfJxWh32N0/VYwIwjetYZI/AAAAAAAMkzA/RQYmDMG8Akw/s1600/p_12_00.jpg Dejah Thoris]] serves as the most prominent example due to not only receiving most focus of them all, but also being subject to very racy covers.
101* ''ComicBook/{{Witchblade}}'': Sara Pezzini and her predecessors/successors bearing the Witchblade all tend to come off as this, since the eponymous artifact takes the form of an organic ChainmailBikini most of the time and rips through any clothes the characters might be wearing. Mary from ''ComicBook/Switch2015'' has averted this so far, with the Witchblade appearing over and around her modest clothes.
102* ''ComicBook/XWingRogueSquadron'': The comics tended to avert the large breasts and the skintight clothing and ridiculous poses which generally come with it, though there are some attractive images of female pilots or other women in tight/scant clothing and bathing suits nonetheless.
