The New Comics

Berkley Books launched The New Comics in 1988 as a single-issue anthology that captured the raw energy of the then-emerging alternative-comics movement. Featuring a roster of boundary-pushing creators, the collection served as a snapshot of the era's underground and independent scene, offering a curated glimpse into the work that would define the decade's artistic shift in the medium. Though brief, its importance lies in its role as a time capsule of a pivotal moment in comics history.
