Alternative Comics

Alternative Comics

The term alternative comics is not always a favourite amongst comic book fans. It does, however, act as one of the two terms used to describe two comic book categories – the other being superheroes. These two terms are incredibly vague and do not always do justice to the artwork created.

The word alternative implies that it is different, which it definitely is – in every sense. The easiest way to describe alternative comics would be to associate it with underground, unpublished comics that the creator is in charge of mass producing and distributing. The other side to this equation is the superhero or mainstream comics – the Batman and Spiderman type creations that we all know and love. In comparison, the alternative comic category is a lot smaller, the awkward little brother of the comic world.

We don’t mean any offence, on the contrary, the capacity for growth in the alternative comic world is insane and that is why we have decided to help the awkward little brother out.
