Alternative comics are published by small press houses or are self-published, and tend to focus on the mundane, offbeat or taboo. Often done by writer-artist auteurs, alternative comics present singular, personal narratives that hew closely to the literary traditions of novels. This genre is seen as naturally evolving out of the UndergroundComics that sprouted up during [[TheSixties the late 1960s]], proliferated in [[TheSeventies the 1970s]], and slowly faded in [[TheEighties the early 1980s]].

Luminaries in the genre include Daniel Clowes (''ComicBook/{{Eightball}}''), Peter Bagge (''ComicBook/{{Hate}}'') and Los Bros Hernandez (''ComicBook/LoveAndRockets''). Creator/RobertCrumb and [[ComicBook/AmericanSplendor Harvey Pekar]] also fit in this genre, as their longevity and continued relevance allowed them to bridge the gap between underground comics and alternative comics.
