I discovered it way before X-Files, during my Alien/UFO/Occult book phase in the 80's. Much as I enjoy John Keel's compilations, the only author who can really spark ones imagination and lead ya down that dang rabbit hole is Jaques Vallee; who Francis Truffaut portrayed in Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Someday when I got some spare time (?) I want to record Fort's books for Libravox and make them available on archive.org. His final book, Wild Talents, is AMAZING ! Great post Pappy ! Keep us posted if more of these Fortean comics surface !Runs.with.Feralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633149475126315592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-91680263658396206892010-01-17T16:08:25.822-08:002010-01-17T16:08:25.822-08:00Thanks for posting such a delightful story.

It makes me want to read Aristophanes' play <i>The Birds</i>, and about the original Cloud-Cuckoo-Land with its perfect city between the clouds.Mark Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13687605795028679735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-42586521766564782702010-01-17T05:46:13.569-08:002010-01-17T05:46:13.569-08:00Peter, thanks for the info on John Keel, a writer ...Peter, thanks for the info on John Keel, a writer I'm interested in.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-76272293111960946362010-01-17T03:09:05.208-08:002010-01-17T03:09:05.208-08:00Wow, Pappy!

This one was so weird from start to finish, I loved it!<br /><br />...and I guess theres no reason not to have comics based on Fort's writing, after all, X-Files(TV) did and lasted several seasons!THE APOCOLYTEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835797417138325832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-3944255870967601032010-01-17T03:07:12.638-08:002010-01-17T03:07:12.638-08:00Also, you might want to check out the old radio sh...Also, you might want to check out the old radio show, "Quiet, Please!" as it was written by a reader of Charles Fort. The "Northern Lights" episode might entertain you in particular. That entire series was written by Willis Cooper, who had written the script for "Son of Frankenstein." Another equally highly-recc'ed episode is called, "The Thing on the Fourble Board."Peter Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984260321681445303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-90229324263560657122010-01-17T02:56:38.049-08:002010-01-17T02:56:38.049-08:00Fort's books predate the comic book era.

He also told me that when Action Comics and Superman came out, it was all the kids his age could talk about. The two went together-- kids who liked Fort liked superheros and vice versa, apparently.Peter Bernardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984260321681445303noreply@blogger.com
