• 100 Bullets has Megan Dietrich, a young Alpha Bitch Corrupt Corporate Executive with an absolutely enormous chest even for this series. Her favorite outfits include sexy cocktail dresses and bikinis that are much too small for her. She is, interestingly enough, used for Fan Disservice scenes as well; we get to watch her have sex with a man old enough to be her father and her death scene, in which she's wearing a midriff-bearing number, is undercut by the fact that she's so terrified of the crazed hitman staring her down that she wets herself. The female protagonist, Dizzy Cordova, also has a womanly rear end that the panels highlight often.
• 2000 AD:
  • Anderson: Psi-Division: 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 walk in on her in a shower, and goes clubbing in a low-cut, tight minidress.
  • Durham Red in Strontium Dog 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 Vampires Are Sex Gods angle, despite actually being a mutant who happens to feed on blood.
  • Cythea in Necrophim, a beautiful succubus who never wears any clothes.
• Arawn had Siahm, a gorgeous white-haired Action Girl prone to lots of attention and being depicted semi-nude most of the time. Hell, even when she is fully covered, 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 supernatural reason for this.
• Archie Comics:
  • 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!
  • 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 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.
  • Melody was this for Josie and the Pussycats, wearing the skimpiest outfits and drawing all the male attention. She is so beautiful that almost any man who sees her gets Distracted by the Sexy and suffers Amusing Injuries.
• Ant is a extremely curvaceous Statuesque Stunner wearing a really tight exoskeleton suit resembling an ant.
• Due to Art Evolution in Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), a significant portion of the comic (Issue 60s-180s) turned the resident heroines Bunnie Rabbot and Sally Acorn much more humanoid. The former wears bunny outfit's top, the latter is next to being literally fur-naked. While it was toned down post-180s, it was pretty much rendered null after the Continuity Reboot.
• Red Monika from Battlechasers. Huge boobs, ridiculous figure, big red hair and stripperiffic outfits? She's pure Ms. Fanservice.
• Bazooka Jules somewhat overdeveloped the Most Common Superpower 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.
• Hellaynnea in Black Moon Chronicles was a succubus who served as love interest to the main protagonist and was rather... extrovertive.
• Panda Delgado from Body Bags. 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.
• Thorn from 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 Clothing Damage. 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.) Needless to say, Fone Bone takes an instant liking to her.
• Parodied and subverted in The Boys 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 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.
• Cavewoman: is a Nubile Savage with a curvaceous and voluptuous figure who's only article of clothing is a loincloth and fur bikini.
• La Mulatona from Clemente. Including when they show Clemente swimming between her breasts (a common scene in macrophile porn) as a running gag.
• Crimson: The hero's love interest Scarlet X is a French redheaded Action Girl who wears a rather skimpy combat suit◊ for a member from a holy order. There is a moment when she is visited by two vampires in her apartment she is wearing only a Modesty Towel. During the struggle, she loses the towel and gets completely nude before the two, albeit with one of their bodies covering her from the reader's view and they certainly appreciate what he sees.
• Danger Girl: has no shortage of them. The fact it's drawn by J. Scott Campbell of Gen¹³ fame doesn't help.

• The Darkness:
  • The Angelus, The Darkness' Arch-Enemy and embodiment of light always manifests herself as a vaguely Angelic Beauty in Stripperiffic outfits. Any woman possessed by it also becomes this trope incidentally, such as the old and withered Lauren Franchetti◊ was rejuvenated into 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.
  • 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 fairly voluptuous◊. Justified, since their mistress prefers women and uses them for sexual gratification outside of battle and occasionally to seduce and spy her enemies.
  • Invoked by the Darkling concubines◊ that serve this purpose In-Universe to their wielders since they Can't Have Sex, Ever with normal women and risking impregnation which would result in losing their lives and passing their powers to their offspring.
• In the Den comics, any woman from Earth arriving in Neverwhere becomes this; buck naked, buxom and liking it.
• From some Disney Italia comics:
  • Lyla Lay from Paperinik New Adventures (reboot and sequel included), a beautiful droid designed to look like an anthropomorphic duck. She's clearly drawn to be more humanoid than the usual Funny Animal Disney duck, with a much taller frame, human hips and breasts.
  • 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.
  • Birgit Q in the reboot Pikappa. The back-up story of #17 is practically an excuse to see fanservice shots of her.
  • The spy Kay K from Double Duck. She is a really attractive anthropomorphic duck with an Impossible Hourglass Figure. Many of her outfits show off her cleavage. In few issue she also appears in bikini.
• 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.
• Dungeons & Dragons: Fell's Five: Tisha Swornheart is a beautiful redheaded 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.
• Empowered herself is arguably a deconstruction of this trope, being a Faux Action Girl whose suit tends to rip up at the worst possible moment and 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 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.
• Most of Dr. Love's appearances in Frank Miller's RoboCop 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.
• Gaturranta in the very first strips of Gaturro.
• The three female leads in Gen¹³. The entire comic is made of Fanservice with the girls in skimpy costumes, sometimes half-naked or in lingerie and often subject of Male Gaze.
  • Caitlin Fairchild is a tall and muscular redhead with a tendency to get her clothes destroyed much to chagrin. One bootleg story is remembered for her being knocked out by the villain who undresses her and put's her into a Go-Go Enslavement outfit she wears for the rest of the story.
  • Sarah Rainmaker is a stunning raven-haired beauty that's very proud of her body and doesn't mind showing it off, customarily strutting around the house in the buff or in her underwear. The very first issue has a scene with her Skinny Dipping and doing a Sexy Surfacing Shot right in front of the boys, covered only by Scenery Censor and showing Toplessness from the Back and Sideboob.
  • Roxy is a Tomboy with a Girly Streak with a punk look, and while she doesn't have the figure of the other two girls, she usually provides fanservice by wearing many Fanservice Costumes.
• Hack/Slash: 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 In-Universe, too.
• Invincible:
  • Atom Eve is a very curvaceous redhead and Love Interest-now wife of the protagonist, Eve also ends up naked a lot (with only a Modesty Bedsheet to cover◊ up) and she also once remade her body using her powers and made her breasts even bigger. Eve also became a Big Beautiful Woman for a time, then a Pregnant Badass and even lost her leg but throughout remained attractive.
  • Telia Allen the Alien's girlfriend is a blue-skinned space babe who barely wears anything and is very sexual every time she appears.
  • Monster Girl is extremely hot◊ unfortunately her superpower makes her much less so.
• Jawbreakers: Lost Souls: 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 when she was unceremoniously killed off by the Big Bad a lot of the fans were pissed.

• 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 Real Life, 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.
  • There were rumours that when she appeared completely starkers it would be D-Day. Sir Winston Churchill personally intervened on the matter to make it so.
• In King Kong's Don Simpson "Monster Comics" adaptation, unlike her film counterpart who only gets part of her dress ripped off, Kong rips off all of Ann's dress, leaving Ann in her underwear for two issues.
• Lady Death is extremely voluptuous and wore a Chainmail Bikini with black opera gloves and Combat Stilettos that only enhanced her outstanding figure. She was originally written with a very seductive personality.
• Cixi in Lanfeust. Besides her name rhyming with "sexy", she always wears Stripperiffic red clothes and isn't shy with nudity.
• Near every woman in Le Petit Spirou, 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.
• Little Ego. Ego exists solely to lose her clothes and get caught in erotic situations.
• Lori Lovecraft is an actress who relies primarily on her looks to get parts. Every story involves copious Lingerie Scenes, and usually at least one full frontal nude scene.
• Phantom Lady 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.
• Toola from Pocket God. 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".
• Deena Pilgrim from 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. 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.
  Callista: God! You can totally see my asscrack! Now they're zooming in on it! Fuckers.
• Queen and Country: 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.
• Bonnie Black in Reborn wears a white Spy Catsuit that covers her entire figure, but it still hugs it very tightly. She is also subject to tons of Male Gaze in the covers and action sequences.
• Red Sonja, who wore nothing but a Chainmail Bikini into battle. Justified because her fighting style relied on Distracted by the Sexy.
• Requiem Vampire Knight:
  • Claudia Demona is a pretty over-the-top example, being Dressed Like a Dominatrix and with a very fitting seductive and domineering attitude. She also dons a Chainmail Bikini to fight in a tournament against Dystopian knights.
  • Rebecca also qualifies, being a girl covered in bandages who occasionally gets (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 lampshaded by Claudia above, who comments she is pretty enough to become Dracula's bride and tries to claim her for herself.
  • Elizabeth Báthory 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.
• Wally Wood's Sally Forth, done originally for military papers, used any excuse to get the 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.
• While Scott Pilgrim features many attractive women, Envy Adams is noted in Volume 6 to be "the perfect woman," with the proclamation being accompanied by her measurements: Bust 999, Waist 999, Hips 999.
• Sheena, Queen of the Jungle:
  • Sheena, the titular character - A Nubile Savage in very skimpy clothing with a very curvaceous body.
  • Ramona also gets a lot of this kind of attention, and scenes of her in lingerie.
• Angela in Spawn was supposedly conceived as eye-candy, wearing a Chainmail Bikini into combat. Her 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.
• Star Wars: Legacy: Darth Talon is a Twi'lek Sith Lord who runs around in thigh-high boots and a metal bikini.
• Superlópez: 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.
• Tarot: Witch of the Black Rose: Literally any female character qualifies, but the main heroine is the primary one, with her outfit being pretty much described as "two strings and a wish".
• Laureline in Valérian tends to wear very revealing outfits in some adventures, such as in Land Without Stars where she joins a royal harem and wears a bikini that is attributed to have inspired Princess Leia's slave outfit.
• Vampirella is almost always scantily clad in her signature red sling suit, complete with a Navel-Deep Neckline, 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 Shameless Fanservice Girl, 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.
• In Warlord of Mars, most female◊ Martians◊ are hot alien babes of many exotic colors adorned in jewelry and gold ornaments and little else, but 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.
• 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 Chainmail Bikini most of the time and rips through any clothes the characters might be wearing. Mary from Switch (2015) has averted this so far, with the Witchblade appearing over and around her modest clothes.
• X-Wing Rogue Squadron: 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.
