Check the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indyworld.com\/altcomics\/\">website<\/a> and e-mail  somebody, otherwise check out your local comic store to see if they have  any left, because it&#8217;s a great piece of work. The idea is to showcase  all of their artist&#8217;s best work and they pull this off beautifully.  Sure, Sam Henderson could have had more than a page out of his  sketchbook, and I would have liked to see more out of Steven Weissman  than a cover, but overall everyone associated with the company (again,  check the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.indyworld.com\/altcomics\/\">website<\/a>, as I&#8217;m too  lazy to type everybody in) had either a good or a great short story in  here. There were links to everybody in the book as well, meaning that  anybody who picked this up randomly could find whoever they liked best,  and that&#8217;s the point of this book. Kudos on a job well done, and I&#8217;d  have to think that this did a better job of promoting the medium than  almost anything else could have. After all, it was free!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/opticalsloth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/alternative2.bmp\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"489\" height=\"740\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Website Alternative Comics #1 This was the comic that was free on Free Comics Day a couple of months back, so I&#8217;m honestly not sure if you can get it online anywhere or not.
