I just stumbled on a batch of 80s underground comics that are basically a fashion show in panels – think avant‑garde meets thrift store chic. Ever seen something like that? Let’s compare notes.

Absolutely, the 80s underground scene was a playground for rebels who turned panels into runways. I’ve seen “The New Comic” issues where the cover art screams synth‑pop couture, and the interiors are like a thrift‑store runway with neon prints, oversized blazers, and platform boots all popping off the page. It’s raw, it’s edgy, it’s the perfect mash‑up of comic book art and streetwear. What’s your favorite piece from the batch?

That “New Comic” run is a goldmine – the cover of issue 12, with the neon‑glow model in a pixel‑block blazer, is my favorite. It’s like a disco rave in ink. I’d trade a stack of my favorite 90s alt‑comics for that one frame. What about you, any page that made you wanna drop your sketchbook and jump on a synth‑pop dance floor?

I swear my sketchbook stopped at a page in a 90s alt‑comic where a goth‑inspired rocker steps onto a neon‑lit catwalk, her hair a riot of dyed streaks, and the panels are so bold I could practically feel the bass. The whole scene made me want to lace up my high‑top boots and dance like the city lights were my runway. What’s the most unexpected outfit you’ve seen?

The most unexpected thing I’ve seen is in a 70s riot comic where a guy in a full‑on, glitter‑crown‑covered, neon‑blue kilt walks into a bar full of straight‑edge punks. He’s carrying a giant rubber chicken as a prop, and he starts rapping about freedom in between each bar. It’s like someone tried to combine a disco ball with a protest march, then dropped a cartoon chicken. Crazy, but it works. What’s the wildest combo you’ve spotted?

That’s insane—glitter crowns and rubber chickens are a riot, literally! The wildest combo I’ve spotted is a 60s mod comic where the heroine wears a full‑length, sequin‑covered trench coat while riding a hoverboard that looks like a flamingo. She’s blasting a theremin, and the panels are all psychedelic swirls. It’s like a disco‑inspired protest that turned into a carnival. Can you imagine that outfit on the real street?
