	Rec.Arts.Comics: No Alternative?
		Comics which easily fall into genres well-represented by the comic book industry's mainstream (such as Superheroes, science fiction/fantasy/horror, comics for kids and teens, and comics based on popular movies or bestsellers) are not considered "alternative" unless they fit the following description of alternative comic books:
		In contrast to over 80% of comic books today, they are not published by the chief imprint of the biggest mainstream companies (DC, Marvel, Image, Valiant, Archie and Disney); comic books that you could buy at a convenience store or a newsstand would not be considered alternative.
		Alternative comic books focus on subjects not typically found in comic books or focus on typical subjects in atypical and innovative ways.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- 'Masters': Gleeful crash course in comics
		Comics' narrative possibilities go through further metamorphosis with King's real-time chronicle of life in "Gasoline Alley" and Segar's introduction of his spinach-lovin' sailor Popeye in the "Thimble Theatre" stories.
		This end-time paranoid vibe is pushed even further in Panter's nightmarish, 1980s punk-driven "Jimbo" comics with their chaotic compositions gorged with writhing, ragged figures that delight in the jaded pleasures of riot surfing.
		Autobiographical comics are also ripe for probing their creators' personal idiosyncrasies and no one does that better than Crumb.

	The Power of Girls' Comics
		The comic market, which started as a communicative place for amateur mangaka (comic artists) to sell their own original manga, has become a worldwide phenomenon, appearing not only in Japan and other Asian countries but also in the US.
		The original Tokyo comic market, which started in 1975, has grown at the beginning of the 21st century to be a biannual event with 25,000 dojinshi (fanzine) groups and 350,000 participants over 3 days (Toku, 2001).
		One of the significant phenomena of comic markets is the parody of boy’s love between men and men in manga and novels called YAOI, which is depicted by female manga fans as their fantasy (Wilson and Toku, 2004).

	The Comics Journal: Newswatch
		The offer of selected free comics was meant as a siren call not only to regular and returning comics fans, but also to the many non-comics-readers drawn to the hot event that the movie had become.
		By scheduling the Free Comics promotion in close proximity with the Spider-Man movie debut, retailers were able to gain the attention of news media looking desperately for any story with a Spider-Man tie-in.
		As will be seen in the following comments, there are plenty of comics retailers who are still struggling and few who are confident of a smooth road ahead after all the frantic ups and downs they have weathered, but most report a gradual, relatively steady increase in business over the past few months.

	The Comics Journal: Essays
		In 1999, I wrote an essay for this magazine in which I decried a "Team Comics" mentality, an implied social contract whereby it is asserted that everyone from comics professionals to readers is obligated to help raise the profile and sales levels of the comic-book industry.
		Team Comics members in good standing might buy an extra copy of a comic they believe in, shop only at their local comic-book store rather than seek out the best bargain, give comics for presents, loan them to friends and provide a good personal example through attention to personal hygiene and use of pro-comics rhetoric.
		Team Comics switches between two basic modes of entreaty: duty, by suggesting someone who really loves comics would do his best by them; and self-esteem, where one is flattered into believing he has the power to create a world in which his choice of entertainment reflects favorably upon him.

	WHEN COMICS GREW UP
		At the time, comics was a collector’s market, with multiple copies being bought, bagged, boarded and stashed away in the expectation that they would acrue value, like older comics had.
		But the reason old comics were so valuable was because they were meant to be bought, read, traded, and thrown away.
		Old Adventure Comics from the 1960s, starring the Legion; a healthy run of Conan, beginning with #33; and seminal X-Men issues drawn by the likes of Dave Cockrum and John Byrne.

		When the American Library Association invited acclaimed comic book artist Jeff Smith and three fellow artists to its annual meeting in 2002, the quartet huddled beforehand and agreed that this was their best —— and perhaps only — chance to pitch comics to an influential group of tastemakers.
		In fact, the artists heard that comics and their book-length cousins, graphic novels, were the only books for which circulation was up.
		A wave of underground comics in the 1960s helped undermine the code, and now few publishers abide by it.

	Ronin Books \| History of Underground Comics
		ince the genre first emerged in the late 1960s, underground comics (or "comix") have delighted and outraged millions of people.
		A History of Underground Comics, Mark Estren traces the roots of underground comics in such legendary comic demigods as Krazy Kat and Little Nemo, and details how comics unabashedly portrayed sex, drugs, and rock n' roll, flouting the conventions of censors who had kept above-ground comics tame.
		Social satire in the underground comics usually takes the form of humorous (sometimes bitter) exaggerations of various aspects of American society, from money hunger to art and music.

	Jeet Heer, "Steve Dtiko"
		Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel created Superman in 1939, but there was never a hint of this simple fact in any comic book from the late 1940s, when the two cartoonists started feuding with DC Comics, until the late 1970s.
		In part, the controversy grows out of the unique production process that Marvel Comics had in the early '60s, when such heroes as Spider-Man, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four and the X-Men were born.
		Generally, Ditko's superhero work for Marvel in the early 1960s is regarded as his finest work, but he continues to draw to this day.

		Matt Feazell demonstrated that for a few bucks one could print his/her own comics, opening the door for hundreds of artists to print and market their creations.
		Unfortunately, however, the overall quality of comics at every level remains low, misleading talented artists and writers into believing the medium has intrinsic limitations--and thus avoiding it as a means of expression.
		They read, were interested in the art and politics of their time and earlier eras; they had much broader frames of reference than most of today's alternative comics creators.

	Amazon.fr : American Splendor Presents: Bob & Harv's Comics: Livres en anglais: Harvey Pekar,Robert Crumb (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Both Robert Crumb (Self-Loathing Comics), who defined the underground comics of the 1960s, and Harvey Pekar (Cancer Year), whose autobiographical comic (American Splendor) launched an entire movement in the 1980s, have transformed American alternative comics.
		Pekar's American Splendor is hands down the best adult comic book and maybe the best comic book, period, in the U.S. It is full of the adventures of Pekar himself--a genuine working-class intellectual, a clerk in a government hospital who on the side writes about jazz, the comics, and authors whose work deserves renewed attention.
		The most famous of these is his longtime friend, Robert Crumb, dean of the 1960s "underground" comics artists and subject of the extravagantly praised documentary film Crumb (1994).

	Marvel Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marvel Comics is an American comic book line published by Marvel Entertainment, Inc. Affectionately called the House of Ideas by the fan press, Marvel's best-known comics titles include Fantastic Four, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man, Daredevil, Thor, Captain America, X-Men and Blade.
		Moreover, among this new generation of readers were people who wanted to write or draw comics themselves, within the new style that Marvel had pioneered, and push the creative envelope still further.
		Creatively and commercially, the '90s were dominated by the use of gimmickry to boost sales, such as variant covers, cover enhancements, regular company-wide crossovers that threw the universe's continuity into disarray, and even special swimsuit issues.

	Harvey Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Harvey Comics (also known as Harvey Publications) was an American comic book publisher, founded by Alfred Harvey in 1941, after buying out small publisher Brookwood Publications.
		While the company has tried to diversify the comics it published (with brief forays in the 50s and 60s into superhero, suspense, horror, western and the like under their Thrill Adventure and Harvey Thriller line), kid comics have been the bulk of their output.
		Harvey Comics had a close relationship with Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios animation division – many of their most popular characters, including Casper the Friendly Ghost, Baby Huey, Herman and Katnip, Little Audrey, and Tommy Tortoise and Moe Hare, all started as characters in Paramount cartoons during the 1940s, and were sold to Harvey in 1957.

	The Authority - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		Two decades on from the debut of Superman, DC Comics presented their premier group of super-heroes, the Justice League of America, in Brave and Bold #28 in a battle royale with the Star Conqueror, a gigantic starfish from outer space.
		By the 1960s, Marvel Comics had upped the ante significantly with the Hulk laying waste to entire cities with the war cry — "HULK SMASH!" and Galactus, an alien entity dubbed "the devourer of worlds," threatened the very existence of the Earth itself in the pages of The Fantastic Four.
		Apparently she has been re-born in Singapore, and in the course of the tale, the Authority are pitted against a clandestine super-team of villains known as 'The Americans," (a thinly disguised knock off of the Avengers, Marvel Comics' equivalent of the Justice League of America) for the custody of Jenny (now named Jenny Quantum).

	VALIANT Revisited - What Happened to VALIANT?
		Not surprisingly in late-1992 and 1993, Valiant comics that were pre-Unity (1991 or early-1992) became harder to find, as many new readers came onboard and older ones began searching for the issues they'd missed.
		In many cases, owners of comic books who wished to sell their collections received only a fraction of the perceived market value at the time, or found that no one was willing to buy their books regardless of price guide "values".
		By late 1995, pre-orders for comics were reaching their lowest point of the decade and those for Valiant comics were no exception.
