In 1975, Fuller teamed up with Raye Horne to form Ful-Horne Productions (later known as Fulhorne), putting out the sex-themed comics White Whore Funnies and the then ground-breaking Gay Heart Throbs. White Whore Funnies was produced on high-quality paper;[1] it was one of the few underground comics to also be distributed in porn shops.[2] Fuller and Horne also published the anthology series The New Funny Book from 1975 to 1978, which featured contributions by artists such as Danny Bulanadi, Alex Niño (issue #2 cover), Nestor Redondo (issue #3 cover), Dan O'Neill, Ian Akin, and numerous others.
Later forming Fuller Inkwell, Fuller went on to periodically publish other sex-themed titles, such as Adults Only! (1979–1987) and HandJob Library (1991).
