BIZZARE COMICS BOOKS

 

10 of the best Bizarre, esoteric and downright weird mainstream comic books.
With the rise of independent comic books in the eighties opportunities for writers and artists to explore new challenging avenues became frequent but there was a time that, within the constraints of the four colour format and commercial considerations of the traditional Superhero

comic book, some creators pushed the envelope: and got away with it. Some did it under the radar, some in obvious ways and some utilising downright silly methods to make a point. Artistically and within the script, ambition and surrealism collided and led the way for experimentation in that mainstream thereby influencing the independent creator.

Krazy Kat,Little Nemo and others had been given free reign previously but that was within the more cerebral newspaper world. These stories took place in the highly commercial world of the Marvel/DC cape & cowl universe.
