Frat Boys’ Butts, Cocks in Vertigo’s “Finals”

It’s back to school, nerdlings! We’ve scrapped at least two titles from Nerdcore because we’re just unsure if the characters are of age, but there’s no guessing in Vertigo’s Finals.

The blurb:

The campus of Knox State is a proving ground for its final-year students. Wally Maurer navigates this environment alongside his girlfriend Nancy and a collection of housemates, all focused on their own survival. The primary threat is not from exams, but from the senior projects of their peers. These capstone endeavors range from functional time-travel devices to meticulously planned armed robberies. Each student must endure the unpredictable consequences of their classmates’ ambitions while managing the pressure of completing their own work. The atmosphere is one of constant, low-grade peril, where academic achievement is measured by one’s ability to avoid collateral damage.

Original title: Finals
Writer: Will Pfeifer
Artist: Jill Thompson
Colorist: Rick Taylor

Publisher: Vertigo/DC Comics (English/1999)


Dollsexposed documents full-frontal male nudity in comics and cartoons from mainstream and independent creators. The project was created in response to the longstanding imbalance in how male and female nudity are depicted in popular media.

Outside of Nerdcore, Dollsexposed creates mixed-media and miniature photography. Their work has been included in several juried exhibitions and festivals, including Tucson Erotica Art Show, Seattle Erotic Art Festival, Los Angeles Kinky Art Show, and Los Angeles Leather Getaway.
