Although the self-definition of surrealism and the initial defining of science fiction as a genre both took place in the 1920s, and the links between the two are manifest, few studies have investigated those links. Across ten original essays, this volume looks at how the surrealist movement in France and the USA used, informed, contributed to, and criticised science fiction, before going on to discuss the related genre of comics.
