Taboo is a comics anthology edited by Steve Bissette that was designed to feature edgier and more adult comics than could be published through mainstream publishers. The series began as a horror anthology, but soon branched out into other genres as well. It was published by various imprints from 1988 to 1995.
Taboo most notably serialized Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell's From Hell, Moore and Melinda Gebbie's Lost Girls, and Tim Lucas, Mike Hoffman and David Lloyd's Throat Sprockets, which became the basis of Lucas' novel of the same name. It also featured work by Moebius, Chester Brown, Neil Gaiman, Dave Sim, Michael Zulli, Al Columbia, and Charles Vess.
