Agreed! That was one of the things I loved about The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Before Eastman and Laird started making heaps of money off toy sales the title was an adult comic book. As they were quickly selling about 1 billion dollars in towy it became tweener Kowabunga bullshit. Same with Elfquest, though that title never went full on adolescent.
Back in the day I used to read a rag called Cerebus The Aardvark, Go check it out. At one point it was the longest running comic that had a single continuous story.
It started as a parody of Conan and pretty quickly evolved into its own thing. You will either love it or not.
I’m so sad they quit the original vision. I’m of the age that I have nostalgia about the cartoons, but the comic was so good.
Not the most obscure one, but try The Boys. Comic is WAAAAY better than the show. Also extremely disturbing at times. Best comic I have ever read.
Edit: I forgot halfway through I replied, recommendation was for OP mainly.
Also Hellboy, Kill Six Billion Demons (https://killsixbilliondemons.com/), John Constantine, Hellblazer, Sandman, V for Vendetta, Preacher. I’ll try to add more if I think any.

Stand still stay silent held me for a time. It ran for a few years. Not sexual, but definitely gory.
