Underground comics
From Webcomic Wiki
Underground comics are controversial, taboo-busting and politically radical comic books from the 1960s and early 1970s. They originated in the underground newspapers of the era, and were mostly distributed to head shops that sold drug paraphernalia.
Enormously influential, the undergrounds spearheaded the establishment of an intelligent, adult-oriented branch of the comics medium.
Robert Crumb, Harvey Pekar, and Art Spiegelman were among the creators who got their start in the undergrounds.
