4 Mind Blowing "Alternative" Comic Artists You Will Feel Proud To Discover Before They Became Very Popular

I have a passion to discover the mind blowing/alternative/outsider/dirty/underground/weird/unique comic artists... So I am sharing my recent treasure with you!

1. Grilling the Alien...

Dogan Pehlevan is my most favourite comic artist, recently... He has a really unique style! I really haven't meet any master or new artist that his art looks like, yet. Although he writes in Turkish ( I have no idea what he is saying in the speech ballons) I can get the story... His stories feel very humanistic, disturbing, sad and cheerful at the same time... The pratagonist in his stories is called "Mister Do"...

He summarized this story to me: Mister Do feels bored because he can't go on a vacation in the summer. He starts hanging around, observing things.. He meets Alien and tries to draw the Alien (he thinks he can't)... And then he feels hungry and decides to eat the Alien:)

2. If you are lonely, don't hesitate to divide yourself into 2 pieces...

Comic artist Joan Cornellà has already been reaching more than 1 million people on his facebook page. So you should get to know his works before it's too late!

He rarely uses speech balloons so he really makes the hardest thing. His stories are screaming quietly! You may love and hate the stories at same time and then feel addicted to them!

3. Colorful black and white

You will thank me if you get the "Strum and Drang: Great Moments in Rock ‘n’ Roll" book by comic artist Joel Orff!

"For three years, Joel Orff has collected people’s stories, illustrating them, and posting them on his web site. Though several of these comics feature well-known musicians, they aren’t necessarily about music. They may be life-defining experiences, or they may be small and sublime occurrences that the narrator has never forgotten, or moments that they would have liked to have forgotten, but couldn’t, because they made too good of a story. These are funny and sometimes poignant comics about people struggling with and celebrating their circumstances, often through unlikely forms of self-expression."
