Underground comix reflect the concerns of the
1960s counterculture: experimentation in all

Mainstream comics are typically produced by a
team while underground books were often done by
a single person.
Underground comix were largely distributed
though a network of head shops which also sold
underground newspapers, psychedelic posters, and
drug paraphernalia.
