Fortean Times

Hunt Emerson’s Fortean Times (1989–present, Dennis Publishing) is a four-issue comic spin-off of the legendary magazine of the same name, blending Emerson’s distinctive, kinetic cartooning with the publication’s trademark fascination for strange phenomena, anomalous events, and the unexplained. Over the course of its short run, Emerson served as both writer and artist, bringing a warm, irreverent visual wit to tales of the bizarre and the fringe. Though brief, the series stands as a unique artifact of British comics, capturing the magazine’s skeptical yet playful spirit through the lens of one of the UK’s most celebrated underground cartoonists.
