FAQ About The Influence of Surrealist Comics on Modern Graphic Novels
How did surrealism originate, and how is it reflected in comics?
Surrealism originated in the early 1920s as an avant-garde movement led by figures like André Breton. It sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, often through illogical scenes and juxtapositions. In comics, this is reflected through imaginative and dreamlike storytelling that challenges readers' perceptions of reality.
