Alternative Press was founded in 1993 by Jeff Mason - while he was still a law student at the University of Florida[REF] - in order to publish Indy Magazine, a magazine devoted to small-label music and comics [REF].
In 1999, Alternative Comics published Monica's Story, by James Kochalka and Tom Hart, which satirized the Starr Report's coverage of President Bill Clinton's affair with former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
