MORE OR LESS SURREALIST COMICS
(NB Suggestions: there are no established criteria for surrealist comics, and not a strong explicit tradition. We are listing a bunch of suggestions of things worthy considering when approaching the subject, including whatever web presence we have found from actual surrealist practicioners in the area and some preferences and directions implied by their experience, but also various questionable leads)
