Moderne Man Comics

Bruce Von Alten’s Moderne Man Comics, published by O.K. Press since 1989, is a singular, self-contained comic that channels the look and feel of classic adventure strips through a distinctly personal, offbeat lens. Von Alten both writes and draws the single issue, crafting a compact, visually striking artifact that stands as a testament to independent, creator-driven storytelling in the late-80s small-press scene. Its importance lies in its compact, idiosyncratic vision—a quiet, enduring gem from the era of alternative comics.
