Strange Invisible-ness
Nov. 9th, 2017 09:20 pmA while back, Kestrell asked me to read her Grant Morrison’s The Invisibles. I have been doing so, and we are now nearing the end of the first volume.
Another piece of recent shared media for us is the second season of Stranger Things. And, in a nifty piece of synchronicity, at least one of their set dressers is clearly a fan of The Invisibles. I had to pause episode seven several times in order to make note of graffiti reading such things as “King Mob”, “O’Bedlam”, and “Barbelith”. And of course, the episode’s plot deals with various interpretations of “being invisible”.
I think the graffiti artist also likes Alan Moore (“Vendetta”) and Douglas Adams (“so long and thanks”). Likely there were other references I missed.
