Alternative comics typically focus on daily life and {{realism}}, though they also just as often satirize and emulate the {{superhero}}, [[ScienceFictionComicBooks science fiction]], [[HorrorComicBooks horror]], romance and children's comics of the past. This is because the producers of alternative comics are not only [[TrueArt artists]] but also genuine [[PromotedFanboy comic fans]] whose stories reflect how readers interact with the medium.

AlternativeComics 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 60's]], proliferated in [[TheSeventies the 70's]], and slowly faded in [[TheEighties the early 80's]].
