Quicken Forbidden is an ongoing comicbook title published by Cryptic Press, and created by writer Dave Roman and artist John Green. It was first published in 1997, and the first five issues were later collected into a trade paperback; thirteen issues have seen print as of August 2006.

The plot revolves around Jax Epoch, a normal modern-day high school student from New York. Through a series of accidents and moments of poor judgement, she ends up accused of bringing items from a number of fantasy realms into the real world, and thus causing the fantasy realms and the real world to leak into one another, causing havoc and destruction for all realms involved. Most importantly, she is accused of released a creature called the Quicken, which must now be captured and contained.

One of the taglines for the series has been "What if, when Alice came back from Wonderland, Wonderland came back with her?"
