In a world dominated by mainstream superheroes like Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man, it’s always refreshing to discover uncommon and lesser-known comics that offer a unique and fresh perspective. The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette recently highlighted a selection of these uncommon comics that are worth checking out for any comic book enthusiast.
One of the featured comics is “Monstress” by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda, a dark fantasy series set in a matriarchal society torn apart by war. With stunning artwork and complex characters, “Monstress” has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal following.
Another standout is “Saga” by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples, a space opera that follows the story of two lovers from warring planets trying to raise their daughter in a hostile universe. Known for its imaginative world-building and emotional storytelling, “Saga” has become a fan favorite.
For readers looking for something different, “Paper Girls” by Brian K. Vaughan and Cliff Chiang offers a nostalgic blend of science fiction and 80s nostalgia. The series follows a group of newspaper delivery girls who stumble upon a supernatural mystery that threatens their small town.
These uncommon comics prove that there is a wealth of creativity and diversity in the world of comic books beyond the usual capes and tights. Whether you’re a seasoned comic book reader or just dipping your toes into the medium, exploring these lesser-known titles can open up a whole new world of storytelling possibilities.
