Comix Movement - Alternative Comics an Emerging Literature
Subject
DIY Comics - Comix Movement
Description
Alternative comics trace their origins to the underground “comix” movement
of the 1960s and 1970s, which, jolted to life by the larger social
upheavals of the era, departed from the familiar, anodyne conventions of the
commercial comics mainstream and provided the initial impetus, the spark of
possibility, for a new model of comics creation. The countercultural comix
movement—scurrilous, wild and liberating, innovative, radical, and yet in some
ways narrowly circumscribed—gave rise to the idea of comics as an acutely
personal means of artistic exploration and self-expression.
