Fetus-X is a comic by Eric Millikin. Early Fetus-X comics were drawn by Casey Sorrow . The first Fetus-X comic strip appeared on February 28, 2000 in Michigan State University's The State News. After being censored from many college newspapers, Fetus-X moved to the internet. It continues to be published in alternative newspapers such as The Detroit Metro Times. Fetus-X regularly features profanity and violence as well as political, religious, sexual, and horror themes. Fetus-X can easily be considered offensive to those unused to such elements.

In the fall of 2002 Fetus-X became part of the online alternative comics anthology Serializer. In their review of serializer.net, The Comics Journal wrote: "It's a pleasure to see strips like ... Fetus-X use the newspaper format for far more daring, entertainingly perverse work ... [Fetus-X] would be perfectly at home at a good alternative weekly or a great college paper."

Fetus-X has been the target of protest campaigns organized by the Catholic League. “This particular comic is offensive to Catholics and Christians,” Catholic League spokesman Patrick Scully said in August 2002. “It completely ridicules the Catholic faith and is not funny.”
