Hernandez (Love & Rockets), Julie Doucet (Dirty Plotte), Jim Woodring (Jim) and over a dozen other cartoonists.

@bitzeepapa To quote Neil Gaiman, "comics are a MEDIUM mistaken for a GENRE"...I think maybe the big two have started to realise a tiny bit--Marvel put out that "Strange Tales" collection with strips by all the prominent "alternative" cartoonists taking on their biggest characters...check it out if you haven't already, it's worth it for Peter Bagge's Hulk story alone. All the best to you!

when the big companies like DC and Marvel see that alternative comics are so great and so deep, they inevitably unload their meaningless bullshit movies to the mainstream to make sure that the mass populace still can't differentiate comic books from superheroes.
