To some of its core customers, Alternate Universe isn’t alternative at all–it’s their home planet, the center of the world. And we’re not just talking about denizens of the multiple DC or Marvel Universes. We’re talking about fans of underground fare like Eightball or Acme Novelty Library, or off-center mainstream books like the Vertigo line of edgy Goth-friendly titles. Comic books have grown so much as a medium that it now touches on just about every aspect of American culture. At Alternate Universe you can find adaptations of major novels, movies and TV shows (from Kavalier & Clay to Supernatural Origins). You can find biographies of pop stars. You can find erotica, ephemera, manga. And, if you’re old-fashioned, you can still find Betty & Veronica (though they’ve just gotten a make-over) or Mickey Mouse.
