Independent Comics

Independent comics, often referred to as "indie comics," are produced outside the major publishing houses, like Marvel or DC. They typically arise from smaller publishers or self-publishing artists and cover a diverse range of genres and artistic styles. Indie comics often explore unique themes and personal stories that may not fit mainstream trends. Creators of independent comics have greater creative freedom, allowing for innovative storytelling and experimental art forms, making them an essential part of the broader comic book landscape. These works can resonate with niche audiences, addressing topics like identity, culture, and social issues.
