• Surrealism & Comics
I am an Art History graduate working in London. I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on the links between Surrealism and comics. I have collated here some material I wrote about and came across while researching this area.

This panel from 1968 Batman, The Brave and the Bold series suggests that it would be madness to deface one of the world's most iconic portraits of Western Art though the addition of a mustache... However, of course Marcel Duchamp did this to a reproduction in 1919 with is work titled 'L.H.O.O.Q.'

While 'surreal' and 'uncanny' are two very overused words I feel that they are both very relevant to this image...
The Surrealists were readers of Sigmund Freud and they took up his notion of the unheimlich (the uncanny or more literally the unhomely). Freud writes an essay discussing exactly what the uncanny is for him, but essentially it is that feeling of something being familiar, but alien at the same time...
