[[Underground
Underground comics were popular with the hippie counterculture and punk scenes. Produced by people like [[Robert Crumb]], Gilbert Shelton, and Gary Panter, the comics tapped into the zeitgeist of the youth culture, exploring themes of distrust in government, the horrors of daily life, and the fading of the [[American Dream]].
Line 12:
