Alternative comics cover a range of American comics that have appeared since the 1980s, following the underground comix movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Alternative comics present an alternative to mainstream superhero comics which in the past have dominated the American comic book industry. Alternative comic books span a wide range of genres, artistic styles, and subjects.
Alternative comics are often published in small numbers as the author(s) deem fit. They are often published with less regard for regular distribution schedules.
Many alternative comics have variously been labelled "post-underground", "independent", "auteur", "small press", "new wave", "creator-owned", or "art comics". Many self-published "minicomics" also fall under the "alternative" umbrella.
From underground to alternative
By the mid-1970s, artists within the underground comix scene felt that it had become less creative than it had been in the past. According to Art Spiegelman, "What had seemed like a revolution simply deflated into a lifestyle. Underground comics were stereotyped as dealing only with sex, dope and cheap thrills. They got stuffed back into the closet, along with bong pipes and love beads, as things started to get uglier." In an attempt to address this, underground cartoonists moved to start magazines that anthologized new, artistically ambitious comics in the 1980s. RAW, a lavishly produced, large format anthology that was clearly intended to be seen as a work of art was founded by Spiegelman and his wife Françoise Mouly in 1980. Another magazine, Weirdo, was started by the leading figure in underground comix, Robert Crumb, in 1981.

The trap of indie comics: too much of the same stuff
Once upon a time there was a crowd of 90s superhero comics, all with the same genre and general team makeup. The indie market blossomed during this time, creating an entirely new world of comics for people to discover and enjoy. Today, thanks to publishers looking to cash in on slice of life and YA content, the opposite is true, and the indie market often looks far too similar. Is it a trap the indie comics have fallen into?

This late-night show was a staple for any teen in the 90s showcasing everything from adult film stars to cardboard giraffes. Produced and distributed by Rapido Television.
The independent comics of the 1990s were in a rebuilding phase as the mainstream market grew. One cool self-published comic that came out during this time is the genre mashup Scud the Disposable Assassin by Rob Schrab. This video looks at what Schrab did to make Scud stand out, what elements of storytelling are important to him, the influences found in the book and its overall history.

Alternative comics cover a range of American comics that have appeared since the 1980s, following the underground comix movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Alternative comics present an alternative to mainstream superhero comics which in the past have dominated the American comic book industry. Alternative comic books span a wide range of genres, artistic styles, and subjects.
Alternative comics are often published in small numbers as the author(s) deem fit. They are often published with less regard for regular distribution schedules.
Many alternative comics have variously been labelled "post-underground", "independent", "auteur", "small press", "new wave", "creator-owned", or "art comics". Many self-published "minicomics" also fall under the "alternative" umbrella.
From underground to alternative
By the mid-1970s, artists within the underground comix scene felt that it had become less creative than it had been in the past. According to Art Spiegelman, "What had seemed like a revolution simply deflated into a lifestyle. Underground comics were stereotyped as dealing only with sex, dope and cheap thrills. They got stuffed back into the closet, along with bong pipes and love beads, as things started to get uglier." In an attempt to address this, underground cartoonists moved to start magazines that anthologized new, artistically ambitious comics in the 1980s. RAW, a lavishly produced, large format anthology that was clearly intended to be seen as a work of art was founded by Spiegelman and his wife Françoise Mouly in 1980. Another magazine, Weirdo, was started by the leading figure in underground comix, Robert Crumb, in 1981.
