Phenomenomix

Vampires, Ghosts, Faeries, UFOs, Werewolves, Folk Beliefs, Miracles, Mystery Smells, Unknown Animals, Megaliths, Saints, Weird Cults, Weird Deaths, Weird Feet, Rains of Blood, Fishes and Stones… The mysterious and bizarre world that exists around us, whether we believe in it or not. Hunt Emerson’s pages about these phenomena have been a regular feature in Fortean Times magazine for many years. Hallucinatory and hilarious, digressive and daft, many of these stories have some sort of documentary evidence. Equally as many are made up by Emerson himself.

Hunt Emerson was born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1952. He has drawn cartoons and comic strips since the early 1970's. His work has appeared in countless magazines and comics, and he has regular long-running spots in The Beano (children's comic), Fiesta (sex magazine) and Fortean Times (journal of unexplained phenomena and weird stuff). Hunt has published around 30 comic books and albums, mainly with Knockabout Comics (London). Titles of Hunt's books include Calculus Cat, Hot Jazz, You are Maggie Thatcher (with Pat Mills) and his hilarious comics adaptations of Lady Chatterley's Lover, Casanova,
