    The first one that came to mind was Elfquest.

    For me it would:
    1) Dreadstar #1-40 plus Prequel stories in Epic Illustrated #1-9, and #15, The Price GN (later reprinted as Dreadstar Annual #1), and Marvel Graphic Novel #3: Dreadstar

    2) 'Breed Trilogy vol. 1 #1-6, vol. 2 #1-6, vol. 3 #1-7

    3) Gilgamesh II #1-4

    4) Wyrd, the Reluctant Warrior #1-6

    5) Cosmic Guard/Kosmos Kid #1-6 and graphic novel

    And pretty much anything else by Jim Starlin.

    Judge Dredd, especially John Wagner written stuff. From 1977 and he still writes some to this day. The best. It's got a bit of everything. Just brilliant pulp storytelling.

    Savage Dragon and Invincible are other favs. And TMNT and manga. I also dig the classic European stuff mentioned, a lot of cool stuff for my to-read list too.

    I don't read a lot of indie books (slowly intend on trying to correct that), so I'd say:
    Sin City
    The Boys
    Klaus
    Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft

    Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”

    I never liked the term indie comics. It's way too broad. I understand it getting used to describe third party publishers in Ameirica like Dark Horse or Image, but Manga and Euorpean comics shouldn't fall under that category because books like Lone Wolf & Cub and the Incal are those respective industries' mainstream.

    That makes sense, I was thinking, if you have a million dollar industry making movies about your stuff, you are an industry.

    Did anyone mention Mike Allred’s Madman? There is a new collection from Darkhorse and it’s so good from issue one.

    I like the term third party publisher. One comic I read on Eclipse that blew my mind way back when, Miracle Man. I know it’s by Alan Moore but for about ten years it fell like an underground book. Speaking of which, what about Zapp! Comics and all those artists. Would EC comics count?

    If we are talking strictly publishing and not other media exploitation of the properties, neither DC nor Marvel are mainstream for comic publishing anymore. They may be the most popular in the niche direct market, but their product does not have any where near enough mass market penetration or visibility to be considered mainstream. Mainstream comic publishers in the 21st century are publishers like Scholastic and the graphic novel imprints from the big book publishers that put out product like the Telgameier books and Dog Boy that are available in the mass market and sell to readers everywhere in the US not just in the limited places that have direct market retail outlets.

    However, when using Indy to refer to comics in the US, it usually has nothing to do with mainstream or non-mainstream it is simply a shortcut for saying any publisher that is not Marvel or DC, even when some of those publishers outsold Marvel and DC by a wide margin for long stretches of the period from '38-present (Dell in particular for most of the 40s-early70s outpaced both National/DC and Timely/Atlas/Marvel in sales).
